PREFACE. 



This work is a compilation of the Authorized Versiori of 
the four Gospels, and contains in one continuous narrative, 
in the exact words o'f the original, all that was written by 
each of the evangelists, except what would be repetition, 
and without any word of comment or of addition to connect 
the parts, or explanation thereof. 

The name of the gospel, and the chapter and verse, are 
added where the narrative changes from one gospel to an- 
other ; so that the reference to the original is seen, without 
inconvenience, and the reader is assured, at once, that it is 
the very word of God, without change. 

Although a number of harmonists have been consulted, no 
one has been strictly followed, but the sequence of parts has 
been made up from various authorities, adhering very much 
to the order of the evangelists themselves. This is the direc- 
tion in which changes are made by modern harmonists, and 
seems to be called for by a reverent respect for the originals. 
By reference to the index of passages and subjects, it will be 
observed that scarcely any part of the gospels is recorded 
before a former part of the same gospel. Thus all questions 
of chronology are waived, and it is assumed that the evan- 
gelists' order is the best and should be adhered to as much 
as possible. 

From the fact that only about one-fourth of the gospels is 
omitted without material repetition, it appears that each in 
great measure has been led to supply the omissions of the 
others, often adding to the same passages additional particu- 
lars and also often entirely distinct narratives. 

This is so much the case in John's Gospel, it being written 
long after the other three, that it has only been necessary to 
omit about twenty verses. It is thus obvious that a compre- 
hensive knowledge of what they all give in this most precious 
legacy is best obtained by interpolating what each contains, 
in regular order into one narrative, and that this must be a 
good work. It may be called summing up the evidence of 
the four witnesses who testify what they know about Jesus 
being the Christ , the Saviour of humanity. Imagine that 
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John all are before us, and each 
in his turn tells us that part of the Wondrous Story that he 



4 



knows best, in his own peculiar way, and without going back 
or forward on his own order. And, as herein recorded, each 
renders the other service by supplementing his omissions, at 
the time and place where the tender, touching, thrilling, 
tragic theme requires it. Take, for instance, the Crucifixion. 
Luke alone tells us that when the rugged nails were driven 
through our Lord's hands and feet He exclaimed, in the 
midst of that supreme agony, Father, forgive them, for they 
know not what they do." And again, to the dying thief. 

To-day shalt thou be with me in Paradise." Only John 
records His loving care for His mother, in saying, "Woman, 
behold thy son,'' and to the beloved disciple, Behold thy 
mother." Matthew and Mark only mention the agonizing 
exclamation, "My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken 
me?" John adds, ^' It is finished," and it is Luke only who 
gives us the final words, " Father, into Thy hands I commend 
my spirit." Our redemption was accomplished. Is it not 
well to read these last words together? Loving kindness for 
us, and meek submission to the Father, breathed forth in 
every word, while tortured to a cruel death by the bloody 
lash, the thorny crown, the pierced hands and feet. This is 
but one of many such passages where each adds to the narra- 
tive his own important, precious words. 

This work is designed to enable the young, and others who 
are only beginning to know about the Saviour, to acquire more 
readily a full knowledge of Him. It is often the case that 
the authorities for help in the study of the gospels are not ac- 
cessible, and the industry and inclination for the collection of 
passages from them are wanting. As they learn more about 
the Saviour they will be more and more constrained to love 
Him, and the ultimate purpose of the work will be accom- 
plished. It is ofi:ered, as the Gospel should be, as nearly 
as possible, without money and without price. 

May God bless the reading of His word, and to His name 
be the praise.

TESTIMONIALS. 



Pittsburgh, East End, Pa. 
The plan on which this continuous narrative of the human history of 
Jesus, as found in the several Gospels, is arranged, is one that has many 
times entered my mind as promising additional attractiveness to the 
young, as well as much utility to other readers of the Gospels. I have 
many times felt the absence of such a useful book in my own work, for 
I think that any student of the records of God's divine Son cannot fail 
to be conscious that there is a large place in the homes of the people for 
such a helpful work as this. 

I therefore desire for it a wide circulation, that by its unique and 
useful character it may win many friends to Jesus.

I have read the greater part of the "Four Gospels in One,'' and 
take pleasure in endorsing it as a useful arrangement of the Scripture 
narrative. Samuel H. Moore, 

Wilkinsburg Presbyterian Church. 



Pittsburgh, Pa. 

My Dear Sir: — I have looked over your MSS. with interest. Such a 
book, cast in popular form, meant for readers of the English Bible, and 
affording them an opportunity to read the continuous story of the life of 
our Lord, cannot well help being of Christian service. The outline of 
the Scripture story follows in your pages the order of the Evangelists 
themselves. And until the scholars are entirely agreed (as they are not 
now) upon the exact chronological order, it seems to me that such an 
arrangement as yours is the best. The probability is that St. Matthew, 
St. Mark, St. Luke and St. John knew more about the order of events 
than we are likely to know. I wish you all success in your excellent 
undertaking, and remain 

Faithfully yours, 

George Hodges, 

Rector Calvary Church. 



Pittsburgh, Pa. 

I have hot, for the want of time, been able to examine this work as it 
deserves, and yet, from what I have learned from the partial examina- 
tion made, I believe it will be quite a help to all who wish to know the 
Story of the Cross. L. McGuire, 

Pastor Fifth Avenue M. E. Church.

My Dear Sir :— I have examined your compilation of the fonr Gos- 
pels m which you have preserved the expressions and facts peculiar to 
each Evangelist and omitted their repetitions. Your work shows that 
you have done this carefully and conscientiously. The value of the 
results is self-evident. The four narratives are really reduced to one, 
and opportunity is afforded, at a minimum of labor to the student and 
reader, of making the fuller account in one supply what is omitted or 
briefly stated in another. 

Your book will certainly be a valuable one for all students of the Gos- 
pels, hile I am familiar with other books of similar nature, I know 
of no one who has adopted just your plan, and certainly no other such 
work has been offered at a price that places it within the reach of all. 
Both for your sake and for the sake of the good that your book will do. 
I wish you most abundant success in its circulation. 

Most fraternally yours, 

W. A. Stanton, Pastor.

i have examined the manuscript of a work entitled " Four Gospels in 
One," and am free to say that it promises to be an interesting and valu- 
able work. To the Bible student and to the great army of Sunday school 
teachers, it must become a valuable aid, greatly assisting in the prepara- 
tion of the lesson, and to the lover of God's word an additional help to 
a knowledge of that which makes wise unto salvation. 

C. V. Wilson, 
Pastor Emory M. E. Church. 



Minneapolis, Minn. 
I have examined the " Four Gospels in One " with some care and am 
really impressed with the amount of labor and theught the compiler 
has bestowed upon it. Moreover, he has shown a good deal of skill in 
combining the several passages to form a connected narrative. In my 
judgment the work may be made very useful, and there ought to be a 
large demand for it. What knowledge should interest us like the knowl- 
e«lge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ ? Or in what form can such 
knowledge be so useful to us as when conveyed in the " words which the 
Holy Ghost teacheth ? Samuel M. Campbell, 

First Presbyterian Church, Minneapolis. 



Pittsburgh, Pa. 
I have glanced over a large portion of the "Four Gospels in One," 
and am pleased with it as quite complete. It will be a help to all who 
wish to familiarize themselves with the fourfold record of the Lord's 
life. J. P. E. KuMLER,

THE FOUK GOSPELS IN ONE. 



SECTION 1. 

LUKE I. 1. Forasmuch as 
many have taken in hand to 
set forth in order a declara- 
tion of those things which are 
most surely believed among us, 

2. Even as they delivered 
them unto us, which from the 
beginning were eye-witnesses, 
and ministers of the word; 

3. It seemed good to me 
also, having had perfect un- 
derstanding of all things from 
the very first, to write unto 
thee in order, most excellent 
Theophilus, 

4. That thou mightest know 
the certainty of those things, 
wherein thou hast been in- 
structed. 

JOHN I. 1. In the beginning 
was the Word, and the Word 
was with God, and the Word 
was God. 

2. The same was in the be- 
ginning with God. 

3. All things were made by 
him ; and without him was not 
anything made that was made. 

4. In him was life ; and the 
life was the light of men. 

5. And the light shineth in 
darkness ; and the darkness 
comprehended it not. 

6. There was a man sent 
from God, whose name was 
Jobn. 

7. The same came for a wit- 
ness, to bear witness of the 
Light, that all men through 
him might believe. 



8. He was not that Light, 
but was sent to bear witness 
of that Light. 

9. That was the true Light, 
which lighteth every man that 
cometh into the world. 

10. He was in the world, and 
the world was made by him, 
and the world knew him not. 

11. He came unto his own, 
and his own received him not. 

12. But as many as received 
him, to them gave he power to 
become the sons of God, even 
to them that believe on his 
name: 

13. Which were born, not of 
blood, nor of the will of the 
flesh, nor of the will of man, 
but of God. 

14. And the Word was made 
flesh, and dwelt among us, (and 
we beheld his glory, the glory 
as of the only begotten of the 
Father) full of grace and truth, 
LUKE I. 5. There was in the 
days of Herod, the king of 
J udsea, a certain priest named 
Zacharias, of the course of 
Abia ; and his wife was of the 
daughters of Aaron, and her 
name was Elisabeth. 

6. And they were both right- 
eous before God, walking in all 
the commandments and ordin- 
ances of the Lord blameless. 

7. And they had no child, 
because that Elisabeth was 
barren; and they both were 
now well stricken in years. 



8 



LUKE I. 8. And it came to 
pass that while he executed 
the priest's office before God 
in the order of his course, 

9. According to the custom 
of the priest's office, his lot 
was to burn incense when he 
went into the temple of the 
Lord. 

10. And the whole multi- 
tude of the people were pray- 
ing without at the time of in- 
cense. 

1 1 . And there appeared un- 
to him an angel of the Lord 
standing on the right side of 
the altar of incense. 

12. And when Zacharias saw 
him, he was troubled, and fear 
fell upon him. 

13. But the angel said unto 
him, Fear not, Zacharias : for 
thy prayer is heard; and thy 
wife Elisabeth shall bear thee 
a son, and thou shalt call his 
name John. 

14. And thou shalt have joy 
and gladness ; and many shall 
rejoice at his birth, 

15. For he shall be great in 
the sight of the Lord, and shall 
drink neither wine nor strong 
drink; and he shall be filled 
with the Holy Ghost, even 
from his mother's womb. 

16. And many of the chil- 
dren of Israel shall he turn to 
the Lord their God. 

17. And he shall go before 
him in the spirit and power of 
Elias, to turn the hearts of the 
fathers to the children, and the 
disobedient to the wisdom of 
the just; to make ready a peo- 
ple prepared for the Lord. 

18. And Zacharias said unto 
the angel, Wherebyshall I know 



this? for I am an old man, and 
my wife well stricken in years. 

19. And the angel answering 
said unto him, I am Gabriel, 
that stand in the presence of 
God; and am sent to speak un- 
to thee, and to shew thee these 
glad tidings. 

20. And, behold, thou shalt 
be dumb, and not able to speak, 
until the day that these things 
shall be performed, because 
thou believest not my words, 
which shall be fulfilled in their 
season. 

21. And the people waited 
for Zacharias, and marvelled 
that he tarried so long in the 
temple. 

22. And when he came out, 
he could not speak unto them: 
and they perceived that he had 
seen a vision in the temple: for 
he beckoned unto them, and 
remained speechless. 

23. And it came to pass that, 
as soon as the days of his min- 
istration were accomplish ed,he 
departed to his own house. 

24. And after those days his 
wife Elisabeth conceived, and 
hid herself five months, saying, 

25. Thus hath the Lord dealt 
with me in the days wherein 
he looked on me, to take away 
my reproach among men. 

26. And in the sixth month 
the angel Gabriel was sent from 
God unto a city of Galilee, 
named Nazareth, 

27. To a virgin espoused to 
a man whose name was Jo- 
seph, of the house of David ; 
and the virgin's name was 
Mary. 

28. And the angel came in 
unto her and said, Hail, thou 



9 



that art highly favoured, the 
Lord is with thee : blessed art 
thou among women. 
LUKE I. 29. And when she 
saw him, she was troubled at 
his saving, and cast in her mind 
what manner of salutation this 
should be. 

30. And the angel said unto 
her. Fear not. Mar j : for thou 
hast found favour with God. 

31. And, behold, thou shalt 
conceive in thj womb, and 
bring forth a son, and shalt 
call his name JESUS. 

32. He shall be great, and 
Fhall be called the Son of the 
Highest ; and the Lord God 
shall give unto him the throne 
of his father David : 

33. And he shall reign over 
the house of Jacob forever; 
and of his kingdom there shall 
be no end. 

34. Then said Mary unto 
the angel. How shall this be, 
seeing I know not a man ? 

35. And the angel answered 
and said unto her, The Holy 
Ghost shall come upon thee, 
and the power of the Highest 
shall overshadow thee : there- 
fore also that holy thing which 
shall be born of thee shall be 
called the Son of God. 

36. And, behold, thy cousin 
Elisabeth, she hath also con- 
ceived a son in her old age : 
and this is the sixth monthwith 
her, who was called barren. 

37. For with God nothing 
shall be impossible. 

38. And Mary said. Behold 
the handmaid of the Lord ; be 
it unto me according to thy 
word. And the angel depart- 
ed from her. 



39. And Mary arose in those 
days, and went into the hill 
country with haste, into a city 
of Juda ; 

40. And entered into the 
house of Zacharias, and salut- 
ed Elisabeth. 

41. And it came to pass, 
that when Elisabeth heard the 
salutation of Mary, the babe 
leaped in her womb ; and 
Elisabeth was filled with the 
Holy Ghost : 

42. And she spake out with 
a loud voice, and said. Blessed 
art thou among women, and 
blessed is the fruit of thy 
womb. 

43. And whence is this to 
me, that the mother of my 
Lord should come to me? 

44. For, lo, as soon as the 
voice of thy salutation sound- 
ed in mine ears, the babe 
leaped in my womb for joy. 

45. And blessed is she that 
believed : for there shall be a 
performance of those things 
which were told her from the 
Lord. 

46. And Mary said. My soul 
doth magnify the Lord, 

47. And my spirit hath re- 
joiced in God my Saviour. 

48. For he hath regarded the 
low estate of his handmaiden ; 
for, behold, from henceforth 
all generations shall call me 
blessed. 

49. For he that is mig-hty 
hath done to me great things ; 
and holy is his name. 

50. And his mercy is on 
them that fear him from gen- 
eration to generation. 

51 . Lie hath shewed strength 
with his arm; he hath scattered 



10 



the proud in the imagination 

of their hearts. 

LUKE I. 52. He hath put 

down the mighty from their 

seats, and exalted them of low 

degree. 

53. He hath filled the hun- 
gry with good things ; and the 
rich he hath sent empty away. 

54. He hath holpen his serv- 
ant Israel, in remembrance of 
his mercy ; 

55. As he spake to our fa- 
thers, to Abraham, and to his 
seed forever. 

56. And Mary abode with 
her about three months, and 
returned to her own house. 

57. Now Elisabeth's full 
time came that she should be 
delivered ; and she brought 
forth a son. 

58. And her neighbours and 
her cousins heard how the 
Lord had shewed great mercy 
upon her; and they rejoiced 
with her. 

59. And it came to pass, 
that on the eighth day they 
came to circumcise the child ; 
and they called him Zacharias, 
after the name of his father. 

60. And his mother answer- 
ed and said, Not so ; but he 
shall be called John. 

61. And they said unto her, 
There is none of thy kindred 
that is called by this name. 

62. And they made signs to 
his father, how he would have 
him called . 

63. And he asked for a writ- 
ing table, and wrote, saying. 
His name is John. And they 
marvelled all. 

64. And his mouth was 
opened immediately, and his 



tongue loosed, and he spake, 
and praised God. 

65. And fear came on all 
that dwelt round about them : 
and all these sayings were 
noised abroad throughout all 
the hiJl country of Judaea. 

66. And all they that heard 
them laid them up in their 
hearts, saying, What manner 
of child shall this be ! And 
the hand of the Lord was with 
him. 

67. And his father Zacha- 
rias was filled with the Holy 
Ghost, and prophesied, saying, 

68. Blessed be the Lord God 
of Israel ; for he hath visited 
and redeemed his people, 

69. And hath raised up an 
horn of salvation for us in the 
house of his servant David ; 

70. As he spake by the 
mouth of his holy prophets, 
which have been since the 
world began : 

71. That we should be saved 
from our enemies, and from 
the hand of all that hate us ; 

72. To perform the mercy 
promised to our fathers, and 
to remember his holy cove- 
nant ; 

73. The oath which he sware 
to our father Abraham, 

74. That he would grant un- 
to us, that we being delivered 
out of the hand of our enemies 
might serve him without fear, 

75. In holiness and right- 
eousness before him, all the 
days of our life. 

76. And thou, child, shalt 
be called the prophet of the 
Highest ; for thou shalt go be- 
fore the face of the Lord to pre- 
pare liis ways ; 



11 



LUKE I. 77. To give knowl- 
edge of salvation unto his 
people by the remission of 
their sins, 

78. Through the tender 
mercy of our God ; whereby 
the dayspring from on high 
hath visited us, 

79. To give light to them 
that sit in darkness and in the 
shadow of death, to guide our 
feet into the way of peace. 

80. And the child grew, and 
waxed strong in spirit, and 
was in the deserts till the day 
of his shewing unto Israel.

from Abraham to David are

are fourteen generations. 

18. Now the birth of Jesus 
Christ was on this wise : When 
as his mother Mary was es-

came together, she was found 
with child of the Holy Ghost. 

19. Then Joseph her hus-

not willing to make her a pub-

put her away privily. 
MATT. I. 20. But while 
he thought on these things, 
behold, the angel of the Lord 
appeared unto him in a dream, 
saying, Joseph, thou son of 
David, fear not to take unto 
thee Mary thy wife ; for that 
which is conceived in her is 
of the Ploly Ghost. 

21. And she shall bring 
forth a son, and thou shalt call 
his name JESUS : for he shall 
save his people from their 
sins. 

22. Now all this was done, 
that it might be fulfilled which 
was spoken of the Lord by the 
prophet, saying, 

23. Behold, a virgin shall 
be with child, and shall bring 
forth a son, and they shall call 
his name Emmanuel, which 
being interpreted is, God with 
us. 

24. Then Joseph being rais- 
ed from sleep did as the angel 
of the Lord had bidden him, 
and took unto him his wife ; 

25. And knew her not till 
she had brought forth her first- 
born son : and he called his 
name JESUS. 

SECTION 3. 

LUKE 2. 1. And it came to 
pass in those days, that there 
went out a decree from Csesar 
Augustus, that all the world 
should be taxed. 

2. (And this taxing was first 
made when Cyrenius was gov- 
ernor of Syria.) 

3. And all went to be taxed, 



every one into his own city. 

4. And Joseph also went 
up from Galilee, out of the 
city of Nazareth, into Judaea, 
unto the city of David, which 
is called Bethlehem, (because 
he was of the house and lineage 
of David : ) 

5. To be taxed with Mary 
his espoused wife, being great 
with child. 

6. And so it was, that, while 
they were there, the days were 
accomplished that she should 
be delivered. 

7. And she brought forth her 
firstborn son, and wrapped 
him in swaddling clothes, and 
laid him in a manger ; because 
there was no room for them 
in the inn. 

8. And there were in the 
same country shepherds abid- 
ing in the field, keeping watch 
over their flock by night. 

9. And, lo, the angel of the 
Lord came upon them, and the 
glory of the Lord shone round 
about them ; and they were 
sore afraid. 

10. And the angel said unto 
them. Fear not : for, behold, I 
bring you good tidings of great 
j oy, which shall be to all people. 

11. For unto you is born 
this day in the city of David 
a Saviour, which is Christ the 
Lord. 

12. And this shall be a sign 
unto you : Ye shall find the 
babe wrapped in swaddliug 
clothes, lyiug in a manger. 

13. And suddenly there was 
with the angel a multitude of 
the heavenly host praisingGod, 
and saying, 



13 



LUKE 2. 14. Glory to God 
in the highest, and on earth 
peace, good will toward men. 

1 5. And it came to pass, as 
the angels were gone away 
from them into heaven, the 
shepherds said one to another. 
Let us us now go even unto 
Bethlehem, and see this thing 
which is come to pass, which 
the Lord hath made known 
unto us. 

16. And they came with 
haste, and found Mary, and 
Joseph, and the babe lying in 
a manger. 

17. And when they had seen 
it, they made known abroad 
the saying which was told 
them concerning this child. 

18. And all they that heard 
it wondered at those things 
which were told them by the 
shepherds. 

19. But Mary kept all these 
things, and pondered them in 
her heart. 

20. And the shepherds re- 
turned, glorifying and prais- 
ing God for all the things 
that they had heard and seen, 
as it was told unto them. 

21. And when eight days 
were accomplished for the cir- 
cumcising of the child, his 
name was called JESUS, which 
was so named of the angei 
before he was conceived in 
the womb. 

22. And when the days 
of her purification according 
to the law of Moses were ac- 
complished, they brought him 
to Jerusalem, to present him 
to the Lord : 

23. (As it is written in the 
law of the Lord, Every male 



that openeth the womb shall 

be called holy to the Lord;) 

24. And to offer a sacrifice 
according to that which is said 
in the law of the Lord, A pair 
of turtle doves, or two young 
pigeons. 

25. And, behold, there was 
a man in Jerusalem, whose 
name was Simeon : and the 
same man was just and devout, 
waiting for the consolation of 
Israel ; and the Holy Ghost was 
upon him. 

26. And it was revealed 
unto him by the Holy Ghost, 
that he should not see death, 
before he had seen the Lord's 
Christ. 

27. And he came by the 
Spirit into the temple : and 
when the parents brought in 
the child Jesus, to do for him 
after the custom of the law, 

28. Then took he him up in 
his arms, and blessed God, and 
said, 

29. Lord, now lettest thou 
thy servant depart in peace, 
according to thy word : 

30. For mine eyes have 
seen thy salvation, 

31. Which thou hast pre- 
pared before the face of all 
people ; 

32. A light to lighten the 
Gentiles, and the glory of thy 
people Israel. 

33. And Joseph and his moth- 
er marvelled at those things 
which were spoken of him. 

34. And Simeon blessed 
them, and said unto Mary his 
mother, Behold, this child is 
set for the fall and rising 
again of many in Israel j and 



14 



for a sign which shall be spok- 
en against; 

LUKE 2. 35. (Yea, a sword 
shall pierce through thy own 
soul also,) that the thoughts of 
many hearts may be revealed. 

36. And there was one 
Anna, a prophetess, the daugh- 
ter of Phanuel, of the tribe 
of Aser : she was of a great 
age, and had lived with an 
husband seven years from 
her virginity ; 

37. And she was a widow 
of about fourscore and four 
years, which departed not from 
the temple,but served God with 
fastings and prayers night and 
day. 

38. And she coming in 
that instant gave thanks like- 
wise unto the Lord, and spake 
of him to all them that looked 
for redemption in Jerusalem. 

SECTION 4. 

MATT. 2. 1. Now when Je- 
sus was born in Bethlehem of 
Judaea in the days of Herod 
the king, behold, there came 
wise men from the east to Je- 
rusalem, 

2. Saying, Where is he that 
is born King of the Jews ? for 

' we have seen his star in the 
east, and are come to worship 
him. 

3. When Herod the king 
had heard these things, he 
was troubled, and all Jerusa- 
lem with him. 

4. And when he had gath- 
ered all the chief priests and 
scribes of the people together, 
he demanded of them where 
Christ should be born. 



i 5. And they said unto him, 
In Bethlehem of Judaea ; for 
thus it is written by the 
prophet, 

6. And thou Bethlehem, 
in the land of Juda, art not 

' the least among the princes of 
J uda : for out of thee shall 
come a Governor, that shall 
rule my people Israel. 

i' 7. ThenHerodjwhenhe had 
privily called the wise men, 
enquired of them diligently 
what time the star appeared. 

8. And he sent them to 
Bethlehem, and said, Go and 
search diligently for the young 
child ; and when ye have 
found him, bring me word 
again, that I may come and 
worship him also. 

9. When they had heard the 
king, they departed ; and lo, 
the star, which they saw in the 
east, went before them, till it 
came and stood over where 
the young child was. 

10. When they saw the star, 
they rejoiced with exceeding 
great joy. 

11. And when they were 
come into the house, they saw 
the young child with Mary his 
mother, and fell down, and 
worshipped him : and when 
they had opened their treas- 
ures, they presented unto him 
gifts ; gold, and frankincense, 
and myrrh. 

12. And being warned of 
God in a dream that they 
should not return to Herod, 
they departed into their own 
country another way. 

13. And when they were de- 
parted, behold, the angel of 
the Lord appeareth to Joseph 



15 



in a dream, saying, Arise, and 
take the young child and his 
mother, and flee into Egypt, 
and be thou there until I bring 
thee word ; for Herod will 
seek the young child to de- 
stroy him. 

MATT. 2, 14. When he 
arose, he took the young child 
and his mother by night, and 
departed into Egypt : 

15. And was there until the 
death of Herod : that it might 
be fulfilled which was spoken 
of the Lord by the prophet, 
saying, Out of Egypt have I 
called my son. 

16. ThenHerodjWhen he saw 
that he was mocked of the wise 
men, was exceeding wroth, and 
sent forth, and slew all the 
children that were in Bethle- 
hem, and in all the coasts there- 
of, from two years old and 
under, according to the time 
which he had diligently en- 
quired of the wise men. 

17. Then was fulfilled that 
which was spoken by Jeremy 
the prophet, saying, 

18. In Kama was there a 
voice heard, lamentation, and 
weeping, and great mourning, 
Rachel weepiug for her chil- 
dren, and would not be com- 
forted, because they are not. 

19. But when Herod was 
dead, behold, an angel of the 
Lord appeareth in a dream to 
Joseph in Egypt, 

20. Saying, Arise, and take 
the young child and his moth- 
er, and go into the land of Is- 
rael ; for they are dead which 
sought the young child's life. 

21. And he arose, and took 
the young child and his moth- 



er, and came into the land of 
Israel. 

22. But when he heard that 
Archelaus did reign in Judaea 
in the room of his father 
Herod, he was atraid to go 
thither : notwithstanding, be- 
ing warned of God in a dream, 
he turned aside into the parts 
of Galilee : 

23. And he came and dwelt 
in a city called Nazareth: that 
it might be fulfilled which was 
spoken by the prophets. He 
shall be called a Nazarene. 

SECTION B. 

LUKE 2. 40. And the child 
grew, and waxed strong in 
spirit, filled with wisdom ; and 
the grace of God was upon 
him. 

41 . Now his parents went to 
Jerusalem every year at the 
feast of the passover. 

42. And when he was twelve 
years old, they went up to Je- 
rusalem after the custom of 
the feast. 

43. And when they had ful- 
filled the days, as they return- 
ed, the child Jesus tarried be- 
hind in Jerusalem; and Joseph 
and his mother knew not of it. 

44. But they, supposing him 
to have been in the company, 
went a day ' s j our ney ; and they 
sought him among their kins- 
folk and acquaintance. 

45. And when they found 
him not, they turned back 
again to Jerusalem, seeking 
him. 

46. And it came to pass 
that after three days they 
found him in the temple, sit- 



16 



ling in the midst of the doc- 
tors, both hearing them, and 
asking them questions. 
LUKE 2. 47. And all that 
heard him were astonished at 
his understanding and an- 
swers. 

48. And when they saw 
him, they were amazed : and 
his mother said unto him, Son, 
why hast thou thus dealt with 
us ? behold, thy father and I 
have sought thee sorrowing. 

49. And he said unto them, 
How is it that ye sought me ? 
wist ye not that I must be 
about my Father's business ? 

50. And they understood 
not the saying which he spake 
unto them. 

51. And he went down with 
them, and came to Nazareth, 
and was subject unto them : 
but his mother kept all these 
sayings in her heart. 

52. And Jesus increased in 
wisdom and stature, and in 
favor with God and man. 

SECTION 6. 

LUKE 3. 1. Now in the fif- 
teenth year of the reign of Ti- 
berius Caesar, Pontius Pilate 
being governor of Judaea, and 
Herod being tetrarch of Gali- 
lee, and his brother Philip te- 
trarch of Itur^a and of the 
region of Trachonitis, and Ly- 
sanias the tetrarch of Abi- 
lene, 

2. Annas and Caiaphas be- 
ing the high priests, the word 
of God came unto John the 
son of Zacharias in the wilder- 
ness. 

3. And he came into all the 



country about J ordan, preach- 
ing the baptism of repentance 
for the remission of sins ; 

4. As it is written in the 
book of the words of Esaias 
the prophet, saying, 
MARK I . 2. Behold, I send 
my messenger before thy face, 
which shall prepare thy way 
before thee. 

3. The voice of one crying 
in the wilderness, Prepare ye 
the way of the Lord, make 
his paths straight. 
LUKE 3. 5. Every valley 
shall be filled, and every moun- 
tain and hill shall be brought 
loY/ ; and the crooked shall be 
made straight, and the rough 
ways shall be made smooth ; 

6. And all flesh shall see 
the salvation of God. 
MATT. 3. 4. And the same 
John had his raiment of cam- 
el's hair, and a leathern girdle 
about his loins ; and his meat 
was locusts and wild honey. 

5. Then went out to him Je- 
rusalem, and all Judaea, and all 
the region round about Jor- 
dan, 

6. And were baptized of 
him in Jordan, confessing their 
sins. 

7. But when he saw many 
of thePheriseesand Sadducees 
come to his baptism, he said 
unto them, O generation of 
vipers, who hath warned you 
to flee from the wrath to come ? 

8. Bring forth therefore 
fruits meet for repentance : 

9. And think not to say 
within yourselves, We have 
Abraham to our father : for 
I say unto you, that God is 



17 



able of these stones to raise up 
children unto Abraham. 
MATT. 3. 10. And now 
also the axe is laid unto the 
root of the trees : therefore 
every tree which bringeth not 
forth good fruit is hewn 
down, and cast into the fire. 
LUKE 3. 10. And the people 
asked him, saying, What shall 
we do then ? 

11. Heanswereth and saith 
unto them, He that hath two 
coats, let him impart to him 
that hath none ; and he that 
hath meat, let him do likewise. 

12. Then came also publi- 
cans to be baptized, and said 
unto him, Master, what shall 
we do ? 

13. And he said unto them, 
Exact no more than that which 
is appointed you. 

14. And the soldiers like- 
wise demanded of him, saying, 
And what shall we do? And 
he said unto them. Do violence 
to no man, neither accuse any 
falsely : and be content with 
your wages. 

15. And as the people were 
in expectation, and all men 
mused in their hearts of John, 
whether he were the Christ, or 
not ; 

16. John answered, saying 
unto them all, I indeed bap- 
tize you with water ; but one 
mightier than I cometh, the 
latchet of whose shoes I am 
not worthy to unloose : he 
shall baptize you with the 
Holy Ghost and with fire. 

17. Whose fan is in his 
hand, and he will throughly 
purge his floor, and will gath- 
er the wheat into his garner ; 



but the chaff he will burn with 
fire unquenchable. 

18. And many other things 
in his exhortation preached 
he unto the people. 

21. Now when all the people 
were baptized, 

MATT. 3. 13. Thencometh 
Jesus from Galilee to Jordan 
unto John, to be baptized of 
him. 

14. But John forbad him, 
saying, I have need to be bap- 
tized of thee, and comest thou 
to me ? 

15. And Jesus answering 
said unto him, Suffer it to be 
so now ; for thus it becometh 
us to fulfil all righteousnegs. 
Then he suffered him. 

16. And Jesus, when he was 
baptized, went up straightway 
out of the water ; and lo, the 
heavens were opened unto him, 
and he saw the Spirit of God 
descending like a dove, and 
lighting upon him : 

17. And lo a voice from 
heaven, saying, This is my be- 
loved Son, in whom I am well 
pleased. 

L U K E 3 . 23. And Jesus him- 
self began to be about thirty 
years of age, being (as was sup- 
posed) the son of J oseph. 

SECTION 7. 

LUKE 4. 1. And Jesus being 
full of the Holy Ghost, re- 
turned from Jordan, and was 
led by the Spirit into the wil- 
derness. 

MARK I. 13. And was with 
the wild beasts, 



18 



LUKE 4. 2. Being forty days 
tempted of the devil. And in 
those days he did eat nothing : 
and when they were ended, he 
afterward hungered. 

3. And the devil said unto 
him, If thou be the Sonof God, 
command this stone that it be 
made bread. 

4. And Jesus answered him, 
saying, It is written, That man 
shall not live by bread alone, 
but by every word of God. 

5. And the devil, taking 
him up into an high mountain, 
shewed unto him all the king- 
doms of the world in a mo- 
ment of time. 

6. And the devil said unto 
him, All this power will I give 
thee, and the glory of them : 
for that is delivered unto me : 
and to whomsoever I will I 
give it. 

7. If thou therefore wilt 
worship me, all shall be thine. 

8. And Jesus answered and 
said unto him, Get thee behind 
me, Satan : for it is Avritten, 
Thou shalt worship the Lord 
thy God, and him only shalt 
thou serve. 

9. And he brought him to 
Jerusalem, and set him on a 
pinnacle of the temple, and 
said unto him, If thou be the 
Son of God, cast thyself down 
from hence : 

10. For it is written, He 
shall give his angels charge 
over thee, to keep thee : 

11. And in their hands they 
shall bear thee up, lest at any 
time thou dash thy foot against 
a stone. 

12. And Jesus aanswering 
said unto him, It is said, Thou 



shalt not tempt the Lord thy 
God. 

13. And when the deyil had 
ended all the temptation, he 
departed from him for a sea- 
son. 

MATT. 4. 11. And behold, 
angels came and ministered 
unto him. 

SECTION 8. 

JOHN I . 15. John bare wit- 
ness of him, and cried, saying, 
This was he of whom I spake, 
He that cometh after me is 
preferred before me : for he 
was before me. 

16. And of his fulness have 
all we received, and grace for 
grace. 

17. For the law was given 
by Moses, but grace and truth 
came by Jesus Christ. 

IS. ZSTo man hath seen God 
at any time ; the only begotten 
Son, which is in the bosom of 
the Father, he hath declared 
him. 

19. And this is the record 
of John, when the Jews sent 
priests and Levites from Jeru- 
salem to ask him, Who art 
thou? 

20. And he confessed, and 
denied not ; but confessed, I 
am not the Christ. 

21. And they asked him, 
What then? Art thou Eiias? 
And he saith, I am not. Art 
thou that prophet? And he 
answered, No. 

22. Then said they unto 
him, Who art thou ? that we 
may give an answer to them 
that sent us. What savest thou 
of thyself? 



19 



JOHN I . 23. He said, I 
am the voice of one crying in 
the wilderness, Make straight 
the way of the Lord, as said 
the prophet Esaias. 

24. And they which v/ere 
sent were of the Pharisees. 

25. And they asked him, and 
said unto him, Why baptizest 
thou then, if thou be not that 
Christ, nor Elias, neither that 
prophet? 

26. John answered them, 
saying, I baptize with water : 
but there standeth one among 
you whom ye know not ; 

27. He it is, who coming 
after me is preferred before 
me, whose shoe's latchet I am 
not worthy to unloose. 

28. These things were done 
in Bethabara beyond Jordan, 
where John was baptizing. 

29. The next day John seeth 
Jesus coming unto him, and 
saith, Behold the Lamb of 
God, which taketh away the 
sin of the world. 

30. This is he of whom I 
said. After me cometh a man 
which is preferred before me: 
for he was before me. 

3L And I knew him not : 
but that he should be made 
manifest to Israel, therefore 
am I come baptizing with 
water. 

32. And John bare record, 
saying, I saw the Spirit de- 
scending from heaven like a 
dove, and it abode upon him. 

33. And I knew him not : 
but he that sent me to baptize 
with water, the same said unto 
me, Upon whom thou shalt see 
the Spirit descending and re- 
maining on him, the same is 



he which baptizeth with the 
Holy Ghost. 

34. And I saw, and bare 
record that this is the Son of 
God. 

35. Again the next day af- 
ter John stood, and two of 
his disciples ; 

36. And looking upon Je- 
sus as he walked, he saith, Be- 
hold the Lamb of God ! 

37. And the two disciples 
heard him speak, and they fol- 
lowed Jesus. 

38. Then Jesus turned, and 
saw them following, and saith 
unto them. What seek ye ? 
They said unto him, Eabbi, 
(which is to say, being inter- 
preted,Master,) wheredwellest 
thou? 

39. He saith unto them, 
Come and see. They came and 
saw where he dwelt, and abode 
with him that day : for it was 
about the tenth hour. 

40. One of the two which 
heard John speak and follow- 
ed him, was Andrew, Simon 
Peter's brother. 

4L He first findeth his own 
brother Simon, and saith unto 
bim. We have found the Mes- 
sias, which is, being interpret- 
ed, the Christ. 

42. And he brought him to 
Jesus. And when Jesus beheld 
him, he said, Thoa art Simon 
the son of Jona : thou shalt be 
called Cephas, which is by in- 
terpretation, A stone. 

43. The day following Jesus 
would go forth into Galilee, 
and findeth Philip, and saith 
unto him, Follow me. 



20 



JOHN L 44. Now Philip 
was of Bethsaida, the city of 
Andrew and Peter. 

45. Philip findeth Nathan- 
aei, and saith unto him, We 
have found him, of whom 
Moses in the law, and the 
prophets, did write, Jesus of 
JS^azareth, the son of Joseph. 

46. And Nathanael said un- 
to him. Can there any good 
thing come out of Nazareth ? 
Philip saith unto him. Come 
and see. 

47. Jesus sawNathanaelcom- 
ing to him, and saith of him, 
Behold an Israelite indeed, in 
whom there is no guile ! 

48. Nathanael saith unto him, 
Whence knowest thou me ? 
Jesus answered and said unto 
him, Before that Philip called 
thee, when thou wast under 
the fig tree, I saw thee. 

49. Nathaaael answered and 
saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art 
the Son of God ; thou art the 
King of Israel. 

50. Jesus answered and said 
unto him, Because I said unto 
thee, I saw thee under the fig 
tree, believest thou? thou 
shalt see greater things than 
these. 

51. And he saith unto him, 
Verily, verily, I say unto you, I 
Hereafter ye shall see heaven 
open, and the angels of God 
ascending and descending up- 
on the Son of man. 

SECTION 9. 

JOHN 2. 1. And the third 
day there was a marriage in 
Cana of Galilee ; and the 
mother of Jesus was there ; 



2. And both Jesus was call- 
ed, and his disciples, to the 
marriage. 

3. And when they wanted 
wine, the mother of Jesus saith 
unto him, They have no wine. 

4. Jesus saith unto her. 
Woman, what have I to do 
with thee ? mine hour is not 
yet come. 

5. His mother saith unto 
the servants, Whatsoever he 
saith unto you, do it. 

6. And there were set there 
six waterpots of stone, after 
the manner of the purifying 
of the Jews, containing two or 
three firkins apiece. 

7. Jesus saith unto them. 
Fill the waterpots with water. 
And they filled them up to the 
brim. 

8. And he saith unto them. 
Draw out now, and bear unto 
the governor of the feast. And 
they bare it. 

9. When the ruler of the 
feast had tasted the water that 
was made wine, and knew not 
whence it was; (but the serv- 
ants which drew the water 
knew,) the governor of the feast 
called the bridegroom, 

10. And saith unto him. 
Every man at the beginning 
doth set forth good wine ; and 
when men have well drunk, 
then that which is worse : but 
thou hast kept the good wine 
until now. 

11. This beginning of mira- 
cles did Jesus in Cana of Gal- 
ilee, and manifested forth his 
glory ; and his disciples be- 
lieved on him. 

12. After this he went down 
to Capernaum, he, and his 



21 



mother, and his brethren, and 
his disciples: and they contin- 
ued there not many days. 
JOHN 2. 13. And the 
Jews' passover was at hand, 
and Jesus went up to Jerusa- 
lem, 

14. And found in the tem- 
ple those that sold oxen and 
sheep and doves, and the 
changers of money sitting : 

15. And when he had made 
a scourge of small cords, he 
drove them all out of the 
temple, and the sheep, and the 
oxen ; and poured out the 
changers' money, and over- 
threw the tables ; 

16. And said unto them that 
sold doves. Take these things 
hence ; make not my Father's 
house an house of merchan- 
dise. 

17. And his disciples re- 
membered that it was written, 
The zeal of thine house hath 
eaten me up. 

18. Then answered the Jews 
and said unto him, What sign 
shewest thou unto us, seeing 
that thou doest these things ? 

19. Jesus answered and 
said unto them, Destroy this 
temple, and in three days I 
will raise it up. 

20. Then said the Jews, 
Forty and six years was this 
temple in building, and wilt 
thou rear it up in three days ? 

21. But he spake of the 
temple of his body. 

22. When therefore he was 
risen from the dead, his dis- 
ciples remembered that he had 
said this unto them : and they 
believed the scripture, and the 
word which Jesus had said. 



23. Now when he was in 
Jerusalem at the passover, in 
the feast day, many believed 
in his name, when they saw 
the miracles which he did. 

24. But Jesus did not com- 
mit himself unto them, because 
he knew all men, 

25. And needed not that 
any should testify of man ; for 
he knew what was in man. 

SECTION lO. 

JOHNS. 1 . There was a man 
of the Pharisees, named Nico- 
demus, a ruler of the Jews : 

2. The same came to Jesus 
by night, and said unto him : 
Kabbi, we know^ that thou art a 
teacher come from God : for 
no man can do these miracles 
that thou doest, except God be 
with him. 

3. Jesus answered and said 
unto him, Verily, verily, I say 
unto thee, except a man be 
born again, he cannot see the 
kingdom of God. 

4. Nicodemus saith unto 
him, Hovf can a man be born 
when he is old ? can he enter 
the second time into his moth- 
er's womb, and be born ? 

5. .Jesus answered, Verily, 
verily, I say unto thee, except 
a man be born of water and 
of the Spirit, he cannot enter 
into the kingdom of God. 

6. That which is born of 
the jflesh is jflesh ; and that 
which is born of the Spirit is 
spirit. 

7. Marvel not that I said 
unto theCj Ye must be born 
again. 

8. The wind bloweth where 



22 



it listeth, and thou hearest the 
sound thereof, but canst not 
tell whence it cometh, and 
whither it goeth : so is every 
one that is born of the Spirit. 
JOHN 3. 9. Nicodemus an- 
swered and said unto him, 
How can these things be ? 

10. J esus answered and said 
unto him, Art thou a master of 
Israel, and knowest not these 
things ? 

11. Verily, verilv, I say un- 
to thee, We speak that we do 
know, and testify that we have 
seen ; and ye receive not our 
witness. 

12. If I have told you 
earthly things, and ye be- 
lieve not, how shall ye be- 
lieve, if I tell you of heaven- 
ly things? 

13. And no man hath as- 
cended up to heaven, but he 
that came down from heaven, 
even the Son of man which is 
in heaven. 

14. And as Moses lifted up 
the serpent in the wilderness, 
even so must the Son of man 
be lifted up : 

15. That whosoever belie v- 
eth in him should not perish, 
but have eternal life. 

16. For God so loved the 
world, that he gave his only 
begotten Son, that whosoever 
believeth in him should not 
perish, but have everlasting 
life. 

17. For God sent not his 
Son into the world to condemn 
the world; but that the world 
through him might be saved. 

18. He that believeth on 
him is not condemned ; but he 
that believeth not is condem- 



ned already, because he hath 
not believed in the name of the 
only beg'otten Son of God. 

19. And this is the condem- 
nation, that light is come in- 
to the world, and men loved 
darkness rather than light, be- 
cause their deeds were evil. 

20. For every one that 
doeth evil hateth the light, 
neither cometh to the light, lest 
his deeds should be reproved. 

21. But he that doeth truth 
cometh to the light, that his 
deeds may be made manifest, 
that they are wrought in God. 

22. After these things came 
Jesus and his disciples into 
the land of Judaea ; and there 
he tarried with them, and bap- 
tized. 

23. And John also was bap- 
tizing in ^non near to Salim, 
because there was much water 
there : and they came, and 
were baptized. 

24. For John was not yet 
cast into prison. 

25. Then there arose a ques- 
tion between some of John's 
disciples and the Jews about 
purifying. 

26. And they came unto 
John, and said unto him, Rab- 
bi, he that was with thee be- 
yond Jordan, to whom thou 
barest witness, behold, the 
same baptizeth, and all men 
come to him. 

27. John answered and said, 
A man can receive nothing, 
except it be given him from 
heaven. 

28. Ye yourselves bear me 
witness, that I said, I am not 
the Christ, but that I am sent 
before him. 



23 



J O H N 3 . 29. He that hath 
the bride is the bridegroom: 
but the friend of the bride- 
groom, which standeth and 
heareth him, rejoiceth greatly 
because of the bridegroom's 
voice: this my joy therefore 
is fulfilled. 

30. He must increase, but 
I must decrease. 

31. He that cometh from 
above is above all : he that is 
of the earth is earthly, and 
speaketh of the earth : he that 
cometh from heaven is above 
all. 

32. And what he hath seen 
and heard, that he testifieth: 
and no man receiveth his testi- 
mony. 

33. He that hath received 
his testimony hath set to his 
seal that God is true. 

34. For he whom God hath 
sent speaketh the words of 
God : for God giveth not the 
Spirit by measure unto him. 

35. The Father loveth the 
Son, and hath given all things 
into his hand. 

36. He that believeth on the 
Son hath everlasting life : and 
he that believeth not the Son 
shall not see life ; but the 
wrath of God abideth on him. 
LUKE 3. 19. But Herod 
the tetrarch,being reproved by 
him for Herodias his brother 
Philip's wife, and for all the 
evils which Herod had done, 

20. Added yet this above all, 
that he shut up John in prison. 
MATT, 4. 12. Now when 
Jesus had heard that John was 
cast into prison, he departed 
into Galilee. 



SECTION 11. 

JOHN 4. 1. When there- 
fore the Lord knew how the 
Pharisees had heard that Jesus 
made and baptized more dis- 
ciples than John, 

2. (Though Jesus himself 
baptized not, but his dis- 
ciples,) 

3. He left Judaea, and de- 
parted again into Galilee. 

4. And he must needs go 
through Samaria. 

5. Then cometh he to a city 
of Samaria, which is called 
Sychar, near to the parcel of 
ground that Jacob gave to his 
son Joseph. 

6. N"ow Jacob's well was 
there. Jesus therefore, being 
wearied with his journey, sat 
thus on the well : and it was 
about the sixth hour. 

7. Then cometh a woman of 
Samaria to draw water : Jesus 
saith unto her. Give me to 
drink. 

8. (For his disciples were 
gone away unto the city to buy 
meat.) 

9. Then saith the woman of 
Samaria unto him, How is it 
that thou, being a Jew, askest 
drink of me, which am a wo- 
man of Samaria? for the Jews 
have no dealings with the Sa- 
maritans. 

10. Jesus answered and said 
unto her, If thou knewest the 
gift of God, and who it is that 
saith to thee. Give me to 
drink; thou wouldest have 
asked of him, and he would 
have given thee living water. 

11. The woman saith unto 
him, Sir, thou hast nothing to 



24 



draw with, and the well is 
deep ; from whence then hast 
thou that living water? 
JOHN 4. 12. Art thou 
greater than our father Ja- 
cob, which gave us the well, 
and drank thereof himself, 
and his children, and his 
cattle? 

13. J esus answered and said 
unto her. Whosoever drink- 
eth of this water shall thirst 
again: 

14. But whosoever drink- 
eth of the water that I shall 
give him shall never thirst; 
but the water that I shall give 
him shall be in him a well of 
water springing up into ever- 
lasting life. 

15. The woman saith unto 
him. Sir, give me this water, 
that I thirst not, neither come 
hither to draw. 

16. Jesus saith unto her, Go, 
call thy husband, and come 
hither. 

17. The woman answered 
and said, I have no husband. 
Jesus said unto her, Thou 
hast well said, I have no 
husband: 

18. For thou hast had five 
husbands; and he whom thou 
now hast is not thj husband: 
in that saidst thou truly. 

19. The woman saith unto 
him, Sir, I perceive that thou 
art a prophet. 

20. Our fathers worshipped 
in this mountain : and ye say, 
that in Jerusalem is the place 
where men ought to worship. 

21. Jesus saith unto her, 
Woman, believe me, the hour 
Cometh, when ye shall neither 
in this mountain, nor yet at 



Jerusalem, worship the Fa- 
ther. 

22. Ye worship ye know not 
what : we know what we wor- 
ship ; for salvation is of the 
Jews. 

23. But the hour cometh, 
and now is, when the true wor- 
shippers shall worship the Fa- 
ther in spirit and in truth: for 
the Father seeketh such to 
worship him. 

24. God is a Spirit: and they 
that worship him must wor- 
ship him in spirit and in truth. 

25. The woman saith unto 
him, I know that Messias 
cometh, which is called Christ: 
when he is come, he will tell 
us all things. 

26. Jesus saith unto her, I 
that speak unto thee am he. 

27. And upon this came his 
disciples, and marvelled that 
he talked with the woman : 
yet no man said, What seekest 
thou? or. Why talkest thou 
with her? 

28. The woman then left 
her waterpot, and went her 
way into the city, and saith to 
the men, 

29. Come, see a man, which 
told me all things that ever I 
did ; is not this the Christ? 

30. Then they went out of 
the city, and came unto him. 

31. In the mean while his 
disciples prayed him, saying. 
Master, eat. 

32. But he said unto them, 
I have meat to eat that ye 
know not of. 

33. Therefore said the dis- 
ciples one to another. Hath any 
man brought him ought to eat ? 

34. Jesus saith unto them, 



25 



My meat is to do the will of 
him that sent me, and to finish 
his work. 

JOHN 4, 35. Say not ye, 

There are yet four months, 
and then cometh harvest? 
behold, I say unto you, Lift 
up yoor eyes, and look on the 
fields; for they are white al- 
ready to harvest. 

36. And he that reapeth 
receiveth wages, and gather- 
eth fruit unto life eternal: 
that both he that soweth and 
he that reapeth may rejoice 
together. 

37. And herein is that say- 
ing true, One soweth, and an- 
other reapeth. 

38. I sent you to reap that 
whereonyebestowed nolabour : 
other men laboured, and ye are 
entered into their labours. 

39. And many of the Sa- 
maritans of that city believed 
on him for the saying of the 
woman, which testified, He 
told me all that ever I did. 

40. So when the Samaritans 
were come unto him, they be- 
sought him that he would tarry 
with them : and he abode there 
two days. 

41. And many more believ- 
ed because of his own word ; 

42. And said unto the wo- 
man. Now we believe, not be- 
cause of thy saying: for we 
have heard him ourselves, and 
know that this is indeed the 
Christ,the Saviour of the world. 

43. Now after two days he 
departed thence, and went into 
Galilee. 

44. For Jesus himself testi- 
fied, that a prophet hath no. 
honour in his own country. 



45. Then when he was come 
into Galilee, the Galilseans re- 
ceived him, having seen all the 
things that he did at Jerusa- 
lem at the feast: for they also 
went unto the feast. 

46. So Jesus came again 
into Cana of Galilee, where 
he had made the water wine. 
And there was a certain noble- 
man, whose son was sick at 
Capernaum. 

47. When he heard that 
Jesus was come out of Judsea 
into Galilee, he went unto him, 
and besought him that he 
would come down, and heal 
his son: for he was at the 
point of death. 

48. Then Jesus said unto 
him, Except ye see signs and 
wonders, ye will not believe. 

49. The nobleman saith unto 
him, Sir, come down ere my 
child die. 

60. Jesus saith unto him, Go 
thy way; thy son liveth. And 
the man believed the word that 
Jesus had spoken unto him, 
and he went his way. 

51 . And as he was now going 
down, his servants met him, 
and told him, saying. Thy son 
liveth. 

52. Then enquired he of 
them the hour when he began 
to amend. And they said unto 
him. Yesterday at the seventh 
hour the fever left him. 

53. So the father knew that 
it was at the same hour, in 
the which Jesus said unto him. 
Thy son liveth: and himself 
believed, and his whole house. 

54. This is again the second 



26 



miracle that Jesus did, when 
he was come out of Judaea into 
Galilee. 

SECTION 12. 

LUKE 4. 14. And there went 
out a fame of him through 
all the region round about. 

15. And he taught in their 
synagogues, being glorified of 
all. 

MARK 1 . 14. Preaching the 
gospel of the kingdom of God, 
15. And saying, The time is 
fulfilled, and the kingdom of 
God is at hand; repent ye,and 
believe the gospel. 
LUKE 4. 16. And he came 
to Xazareth, where hehad been 
brought up : and, as his custom 
was, he went into the syna- 
gogue on the sabbath day, and 
stood up for to read. 

17. And there was deliver- 
ed unto him the book of the 
prophet Esaias. And when he 
had opened the book, he found 
the place where it was written, 

18. The Spirit of the Lord is 
upon me, because he hath an- 
ointed me to preach the gos- 
pel to the poor ; he hath sent 
me to heal the brokenhearted, 
to preach deliverance to the • 
captives, and recovering of 
sight to the blind, to set at lib- 
erty them that are bruised. 

19. To preach the acceptable 
year of the Lord. 

20. And he closed the book, 
and he gave it again to the 
minister, and sat down. And 
the eyes of all them that were 
in the synagogue were fastened 
on him. 

21. And he began to say 



unto them, This day is this 
scripture fulfilled in your ears. 

22. And all bare him wit- 
ness, and wondered at the gra- 
cious words which proceeded 
out of his mouth. And they 
said, Is not this Joseph's son? 

23. And he said unto them. 
Ye will surely say unto me this 
proverb. Physician, heal thy- 
self ; whatsoever we have 
heard done in Capernaum, do 
also here in thy country. 

24. And he said, Yerily I 
say unto you, JS'o prophet is 
accepted in his own country. 

25. But I tell you of a truth, 
many widows were in Israel 
in the days of Elias, when the 
heaven was shut up three years 
and six months, when great 
famine was throughout all the 
land ; 

26. But unto none of them 
was Elias sent, save unto Sa- 
repta, a city of Sidon, unto a 
woman that was a widow. 

27. And many lepers were 
in Israel in the time of Elisetis 
the prophet; and none of them 
was cleansed, saving Naaman 
the Syrian. 

28. And all they in the syna- 
gogue, when they heard these 

• things, were filled with wrath, 

29. And rose up, and thrust 
him out of the city, and led 
him unto the brow of the hill 
whereon their city was built, 
that they might cast him down 
headlong. 

30. But he passing through 
the midst of them went his 
way. 

MATT. 4. 13. And leaving 
Nazareth, he came and dwelt 
in Capernaum, which is upon 



27 



the sea coast, in the borders of 
Zabulon and Nephthalim : 
*M ATT. 4. 14. That it might 
be fulfilled which was spoken 
bj Esaias the prophet, saying, 

15. The land of Zabulon, and 
the land of Nephthalim, by the 
way of the sea, beyond Jordan, 
Galilee of the Gentiles ; 

16. The people which sat in 
darkness saw great light; and 
to them which sat in the re- 
gion and shadow of death light 
is sprung up. 

18. And Jesus, walking by 
the sea of Galilee, saw two 
brethren, Simon called Peter, 
and Andrew his brother, cast- 
ing a net into the sea: for they 
were fishers. 

19. And he saithunto them, 
Follow me, and I will make 
you fishers of men. 

20. And they straightway 
left their nets, and followed 
him. 

21. And going on from 
thence, he saw other two breth- 
ren, James the son of Zebedee, 
and John his brother, in a ship 
with Zebedee their father, 
mending their nets; and he 
called them. 

22. And they immediately 
left the ship and their father, 
and followed him. 

MARK 1. 21. And they went 
into Capernaum ; and straight- 
way on the sabbath day he en- 
tered into the synagogue, and 
taught. 

22. And they were aston- 
ished at his doctrine : for he 
taught them as one that had 
authority, and not as the 
scribes. 

23. And there was in their 



synagogue a man with an un- 
clean spirit ; and he cried out, 

24. Saying, Let us alone; 
what have we to do with thee, 
thou Jesus of Nazareth? art 
thou come to destroy us? I 
know thee who thou art, the 
Holy One of God. 

25. And Jesus rebuked him, 
saying, Hold thy peace, and 
come out of him. 

26. And when the unclean 
spirit had torn him, and cried 
with a loud voice, he came out 
of him. 

27. And they were all amaz- 
ed,insomuchthatthey question- 
ed among themselves, saying. 
What thing is this? what new 
doctrine is this? for with au- 
thority^ commandeth he even 
the unclean spirits, and they 
do obey him. 

28. And immediately his 
fame spread abroad through- 
out all the region round about 
Galilee. 

29. And forthwith, when 
they were come out of the 
synagogue, they entered into 
the house of Simon and An- 
drew, with James and John. 

30. But Simon's wife's 
mother lay sick of a fever, 
and anon they tell him of her. 

31. And he came and took 
her by the hand, and lifted 
her up; and immediately the 
fever left her, and she minis- 
tered unto them. 

32. - And at even, when the 
sun did set, they brought unto 
him all that were diseased, 
and them that were possessed 
with devils. 

33. And all the city was 
gathered together at the door. 



28 



MARK I. 34. And he 

healed many that were sick 
of divers diseases, and cast 
out manv devils ; 
MATT. 8. 17. Thatitmight 
be fulfilled which was spoken 
by Esaias the prophet, say- 
ing, Himself took our infirmi- 
ties, and bare our sicknesses. 
LUKE4. 41. And devils also 
came out of many, crying out, 
and saving, Thou art Christ, 
the Son of God. 
MARK I . 34. And suffered 
not the devils to speak, because 
they knew him. 

35. And in the morning, 
rising up a great while before 
day, he went out, and departed 
into a solitary place, and there 
prayed. 

36. And Simon and they 
that were with him followed 
after him. 

37. And when they had 
found him, they said unto him, 
All men seek for thee. 

38. And he said unto them. 
Let us go into the next towns, 
that I may preach there also : 
for therefore came I forth. 

39. And he preached in 
their synagogues throughout 
all Galilee, and cast out devils. 
MATT. 4. 23. Preaching 
the gospel of the kingdom, and 
healing all manner of sickness 
and ail manner of disease 
among the people. 

24. And his fame went 
throughout all Syria: and* they 
brought unto him all sick peo- 
ple that were taken vrith divers 
diseases and torments, and 
those which were possessed 
with devils, and those which 
were lunatick, and those that 



had the palsy; and he healed 
them. 

25. And there followed him 
great multitudes of people 
from Galilee, and from De- 
capolis, and from Jerusalem, 
and from Judaea, and from be- 
yond Jordan. 

SECTION 13. 

LUKE 5. 1. And it came to 
pass, that, as the people press- 
ed upon him to hear the word 
of God, he stood by the lake 
of Gennesaret, 

2. And saw two ships stand- 
ing by the lake : but the fisher- 
men were gone out of them, 
and were washing their nets. 

3. And he entered into one 
of the ships, which was Si- 
mon's, and prayed him that he 
would thrust out a little from 
the land. And he sat down, 

' and taught the people out of 
the ship. 

4. Now when he had left 
speaking, he said unto Simon, 
Launch out into the deep, and 
let down your nets for a 
draught. 

5. And Simon answering 
said unto him, Master, we have 
toiled all the night, and have 
taken nothing: nevertheless at 
thy word I will letdown the net. 

6. And when they had this 
done, ihey inclosed a great 
multitude of tish*es : and their 
net brake. 

7. And they beckoned unto 
their partners, which were in 
the other ship, that they should 
come and help them. And 
they came, and filled both the 



29 



ships, so that they began to 
sink. 

LUKE 5. 8. When Simon 
Peter saw it, he fell down at 
Jesus' knees, saying, Depart 
from me; for I am a sinful 
man, O Lord. 

9. For he was astonished, 
and all that were with him, at 
the draught of the fishes which 
they had taken : 

10. And so was also James, 
and John, the sons of Zebedee, 
which were partners with Si- 
mon. And Jesus said unto Si - 
mon, Fear not; from hence- 
forth thou shalt catch men. 

11. And when they had 
brought their ships to land, 
they forsook ail, and followed 
him. 

12. And it came to pass, 
when he was in a certain city, 
behold a man full of leprosy : 
who seeing Jesus fell on his 
face, and besoughthim, saying, 
Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst 
make me clean. 

13. And 

MARK I. 41. Jesus, moved 
with compassion, 

LUKE 5. 13. Put forth his 
hand, and touched him, saying, 
I will: be thou clean. And 
immediately the leprosy de- 
parted from him. 

14. And he charged him to 
tell no man : but go, and shew 
thyself to the priest, and offer 
for thy cleansing, according as 
Moses commanded, for a testi- 
mony unto them. 

15. But so much the more 
went there a fame abroad of 
him: and great multitudes 
came together to hear, and to 



be healed by him of their in- 
firmities. 

16. And he withdrew him- 
self into the wilderness, and 
prayed. 

MARK 2. 1. And again he 
entered into Capernaum after 
some days ; and it was noised 
that he was in the house. 

2. And straightway many 
were gathered together, inso- 
much that there was no room 
to receive them, no, not so 
much as about the door : and 
he preached the word unto 
them. 

LUKE 5. 17. And it came 
to pass on a certain day, as he 
was teaching, that there were 
Pharisees and doctors of the 
law sitting by, which were 
come out of every town of 
Galilee, and Judaea, and Jeru- 
salem : and the power of the 
Lord was present to heal them. 

18. And, behold, men 
brought in a bed a man which 
was taken with a palsy: and 
they sought means to bring 
him in, and to lay him before 
him. 

19. And when they could 
not find by what way they 
might bring him in because of 
the multitude, they went upon 
the house top, and let him 
down through the tiling with 
his couch into the midst before 
Jesus. 

20. And when he saw their 
faith, he said unto him, Man, 
thy sins are forgiven thee. 

21. And the scribes and the 
Pharisees began to reason, 
saying, Who is this which 
speaketh blasphemies? Who 



30 



can forgive sins, but God 
alone? 

LUKE 5. 22. Bat when Je- 
sus perceived their thoughts, 
he ansAvering eaid unto them, 
What reason je in your 
hearts? 

23. Whether is easier, to say, 
Thy sins be forgiven thee; or 
to say, Eise up and walk? 

24. But that ye may know 
that the Son of man hath pow- 
er upon earth to forgive sins, 
(he said unto the sick of the 
palsy) I say unto thee, Arise, 
and take up thy couch, and go 
into thine house. 

25. And immediately he 
rose up before them, and took 
up that whereon he lay, and 
departed to his oAvn house, 
glorifying God. 

26. And they were all amaz- 
ed, and they glorified God, 
and were filled with fear, say- 
ing, We have seen strange 
things to-day. 

MARK 2. 13. And he went 
forth again by the sea side; 
and all the multitude resorted 
unto him, and he taught them. 
LUKE 5. 27. And after 
these things he went forth, and 
saw a publican, named Levi, 
MARK 2. 14. The son of 
Alpheus, 

MATT. 9. 9. ^s^amed Mat- 
thew, 

LUKE 5. 27. Sitting at the 
receipt of custom: and he 
said unto him, Follow me. 

28. And he left all, rose up, 
and followed him. 

29. And Levi made him a 
great feast in his own house: 
and there was a great company 



of publicans and of others that 
sat down with them. 

30. But their scribes and 
Pharisees murmured against 
his disciples, saying, Why do 
ye eat and drink with publi- 
cans and sinners ? 

31. And Jesus answering 
said unto them, They that are 
whole need not a physician; 

; but they that are sick. 
I MATT. 9. 13. But goyeand 
I learn what that meaneth, I 
I will have mercy, and not sacri- 
i fice. 

i LUKE 5. 32. I came not to 
call the righteous, but sinners 
to repentance. 

33. And they said unto him. 
Why do the disciples of John 
fast often, and make prayers, 
and likewise the disciples of 
the Pharisees; but thine eat 
and drink? 

34. And he said unto them, 
Can ye make the children of 
the bridechamber fast, while 
the bridegroom is with them? 

35. But the days will come, 
when the bridegroom shall be 
taken away from them, and 
then shall they fast in those 
days. 

36. And he spake also a 
parable unto them; Xo man 
putteth a piece of a new gar- 

I ment upon an old; if other- 
I wise, then both the newmaketh 
a rent, and the piece that was 
taken out of the ucav agreeth 
not with the old. 

37. And no man patteth new 
wine into old bottles; else the 
new wine will burst the bot- 
tles, and be spilled, and the 
bottles shall perish. 



31 



LUKES. 38. But new wine 
must be put into new bottles; 
and both are preserved. 

39. No man also having 
drunk old wine straightway 
desireth new: for he saith, The 
old is better. 

SECTION 14. 

JOHNS. 1 . After this there 
was a feast of the Jews; and 
Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 

2. Now there is at Jerusa- 
lem by the sheep market a pool, 
which is called in the Hebrew 
tongue Bethesda, having five 
porches. 

3. In these lay a great mul- 
titude of impotent folk, of 
blind, halt, withered, waiting 
for the moving of the water. 

4. For an angel went down 
at a certain season into the 
pool, and troubled the water ; 
whosoever then first after the 
troubling of the water stepped 
in was made whole of whatso- 
ever disease he had. 

5. And a certain man was 
there, which had an infirmity 
thirty and eight years. 

6. When Jesus saw him lie, 
and knew that he had been 
now a long time in that case, 
he saith unto him, Wilt thou 
be made whole ? 

7. The impotent man an- 
swered him, Sir, I have no 
man, when the water is troub- 
led, to put me into the pool ; 
but while I am coming, another 
steppeth down before me. 

8. Jesus saith unto him, 
Rise, take up thy bed, and 
walk. 

9. And immediately the man 



was made whole, and took up 
his bed, and walked : and on 
the same day was the sab- 
bath. 

10. The Jews therefore said 
unto him that was cured. It is 
the sabbath day ; it is not law- 
ful for thee to carry thy bed. 

11. He answered them, He 
that made me whole, the same 
said unto me, Take up thy bed, 
and walk. 

12. Then asked they him. 
What man is that which said 
unto thee. Take up thy bed, 
and walk ? 

13. And he that was healed 
wist not who it was : for Jesus 
had conveyed himself away, 
amultitude being in that place. 

14. Afterward Jesus find- 
eth him in the temple, and 
said unto him, Behold, thou 
art made whole : sin no more, 
lest a worse thing come unto 
thee. 

15. The man departed, and 
told the Jews that it was Jesus, 
which had made him whole. 

16. And therefore did the 
Jews persecute Jesus, and 
sought to slay him, because 
he had done these things on 
the sabbath day. 

17. ButJesusansweredthem, 
My Father worketh hitherto, 
and I work. 

18. Therefore the Jews 
sought the more to kill him, 
because he not only had brok- 
en the sabbath, but said also 
that God v/as his Father, mak- 
ing himself equal with God. 

19. Then answered Jesus 
and said unto them. Verily, 
verily, I say unto you, The 
Son can do nothing of himself, 



32 



but what he seeth the Father 
do ; for what things soever he 
doeth, these also doeth the 
Son likewise. 

JOHN 5. 20. For the Fa- 
ther loveth the Son, and shew- 
eth him all things that himself 
doeth : and he will shew him 
greater works than these, 
that ye may marvel. 

21. For as the Father rais- 
eth up the dead, and quicken- 
eth them ; even so the Son 
quickeneth whom he will. 

22. For the Father judgeth 
no man, but hath committed 
all judgment unto the Son : 

23. That all men should 
honour the Son, even as they 
honour the Father. He that 
honoureth not the Son honour- 
eth not the Father which hath 
sent him. 

24. Verily, verily, I say unto 
you. He that heareth my word 
and believeth on him that sent 
me, hath everlasting life, and 
shall not come into condemna- 
tion; but is passed from death 
unto life. 

25. Verily, verily, I say unto 
you, The hour is coming, and 
now is, when the dead shall 
hear the voice of the Son of 
God : and they that hear shall 
live. 

26. For as the Father hath 
life in himself ; so hath he 
given to the Son to have life 
in himself ; 

27. And hath given him 
authority to execute judgment 
also, because he is the Son of 
man. 

28. Marvel not at this : for 
the hour is coming, in the 



which all that are in the graves 
shall hear his voice, 

29. And shall come forth ; 
they that have done good, unto 
the resurrection of life ; and 
they that have done evil, unto 
the resurrection of damnation. 

30. I can of mine own self 
do nothing ; as I hear, I judge : 
and my judgment is just ; be- 
cause I seek not mine own 
will, but the will of the Father 
which hath sent me. 

31. If I bear witness of my- 
self, my Avitness is not true. 

32. There is another that 
beareth witness of me ; and I 
know that the witness which 
he witnesseth of me is true. 

33. Ye sent unto John, and 
he bare witness unto the truth. 

34. But I receive not testi- 
mony from man : but these 
things I say, that ye might be 
saved. 

35. He was a burning and 
a shining light : and ye were 
willing for a season to rejoice 
in his light. 

36. But I have greater wit- 
ness than that of John : for the 
works which the Father hath 
given me to finish, the same 
works that I do, bear witness 
of me, that the Father hath 
sent me. 

37. And the Father him- 
self, which hath sent me, hath 
borne witness of me. Ye have 
neither heard his voice at any 
time, nor seen his shape. 

38. And ye have not his 
word abiding in you: for whom 
he hath sent, him ye believe 
not. 

39. Search the scriptures; 
for in them ye think ye have 



33 



eternal life : and they are they 
which testify of me. 
JOHN 5. 40. And ye will 
not come to me, that ye might 
have life. 

41. I receive not honour 
from men. 

42. But I know you, that ye 
have not the love of God in 
you. 

43. I am come in my Fa- 
therms name, and ye receive 
me not : if another shall come 
in his own name, him ye will 
receive. 

44. How can ye believe, 
which receive honour one of 
another, and seek not the hon- 
our that cometh from God 
only ? 

45. Do not think that I will 
accuse you to the Father; there 
is one that accuseth you, even 
Moses, in whom ye trust. 

46. For had ye believed 
Moses, ye would have believed 
me: for he wrote of me. 

47. But if ye believe not his 
writings, how shall ye believe 
my words? 

LUKE 6. 1. Anditcameto 
pass on the second sabbath 
after the first, that he went 
through the corn fields; 

SECTION 15. 

1. And his disciples pluck- 
ed the ears of corn, and did 
eat, rubbing them in their 
hands. 

2. And certain of the Phari- 
sees said unto them, Why do 
ye that which is not lawful to 
do on the sabbath days? 

3. And Jesus answering 
them said. Have ye not read 
so much as this, what David 



did, when himself was an 
hungered, and they which 
were with him; 

4. How he went into the 
house of God, and did take and 
eat the shewbread, and gave 
also to them that were with 
him ; which it is not lawful to 
eat but for the priests alone? 
MATT, I 2. 5. Or have ye 
not read in the law, how that 
on the sabbath days the priests 
in the temple profane the sab- 
bath, and are blameless? 

6. But I say unto you, That 
in this place is one greater 
than the temple. 

7. But if ye had known what 
this meaneth, I will have mer- 
cy, and not sacrifice, ye would 
not have condemned the guilt- 

MARK 2. 27. And he said 
unto them, The sabbath was 
made for man, and not man 
for the sabbath : 

28. Therefore the Son of 
man is Lord also of the sab- 
bath. 

LUKE 6. 6. Anditcameto 
pass also on another sabbath, 
that he entered into the syn- 
agogue and taught; and there 
was a man whose right hand 
was withered. 

7. And the scribes and 
Pharisees watched him, wheth- 
er he would heal on the sab- 
bath day ; that they might find 
an accusation against him. 

8. But he knew their 
thoughts, and said to the man 
which had the withered hand, 
Kise up, and stand forth in the 
midst. And he arose and 
stood forth. 

9. Then said Jesus unto 



34 



them, I will ask you one thing: 
Is it lawful on the sabbath 
days to do good, or to do evil? 
to save life, or to destroy it. 
MATT. I 2. 11. Whatman 
shall there be among you, that 
shall have one sheep, and if it 
fall into a pit on the sabbath 
day, will he not lay hold on it, 
and lift it out ? 

12. How much then is a 
man better than a sheep? 
"Wherefore it is lawful to do 
well on the sabbath days. 
MARK 3. 4. But they held 
their peace. 

5. And when he had looked 
round about on them with 
anger, being grieved for the 
hardness of their hearts, he 
saith unto the man, Stretch 
forth thine hand. And he 
stretched it out : and his hand 
was restored whole as the 
other. 

LUKES. 11. And they were 
filled with madness. 
MARKS. 6. And the Phari- 
sees went forth, and straight- 
way took counsel with the 
Herodians against him, how 
they might destroy him. 

7. But Jesus withdrew him- 
self with his disciples to the 
sea: and a great multitude 
from Galilee followed him, 
and from Judaea, 

8. And from Jerusalem, and 
from Idumsea, and from be- 
yond Jordan; and they about 
Tyre and Sidon, a great multi- 
tude, when they had heard 
what great things he did, came 
unto him. 

9. And he spake to his dis- 
ciples, that a small ship should 
wait on him because of the mul- 



titude, lest they should throng 
him. 

10. For he had healed many; 
insomuch that they pressed 
upon him for to touch him, as 
many as had plagues. 

11. And unclean spirits, 
when they saw him, fell down 
before him, and cried, saying. 
Thou art the Son of God. 

12. And he straitly charged 
them that they should not make 
him known. 

LUKE 6. 12. And it came 
to pass in those days, that he 
went out into a mountain to 
pray, and continued all night 
in prayer to God. 

13. And when it was day, 
he called unto him his disci- 
ples ; and of them he chose 
twelve, whom also he named 
apostles ; 

MARK 3 .14.That theyshould 
be with him, and that he might 
send them forth to preach. 

15. And to have power to 
heal sicknesses, and to cast out 
devils. 

MATT. 10. 2. Now the 

names of the twelve apostles 
are these : The first, 
MARK 3. 16. Simon he sur- 
named Peter; 

17. And James the son of 
Zebedee, and John the broth- 
er of James ; and he surnamed 
them Boanerges, which is, The 
sons of thunder. 

18. And Andrew, and Phil- 
ip, and Bartholomew, and 
Matthew 

MATT. 10. 3. The publican, 
MARKS. 18. And Thomas, 
and James the son of Alphieus 
MATT. 10. 3. And Leb- 
bieus, whose surname was 



35 



MARK 3. 18. Thaddseus, and 
Simon the Canaanite, 

19. And Judas Iscariot, 
which also betrayed him : and 
they went into an house. 

20. And the multitude Com- 
eth together again, so that they 
could not so much as eat bread. 

21. And when his friends 
heard of it, they went out to lay 
hold on him : for they said. He 
is beside himself. 

LUKE 6. 17. And he came 
down with them, and stood in 
the plain, and the company 
of his disciples, and a great 
multitude of people out of all 
Judsea and Jerusalem, and 
from the sea coast of Tyre and 
Sidon,which came to hear him, 
and to be healed of their dis- 
eases ; 

18. And they that were vex- 
ed with unclean spirits ; and 
they were healed. 

19. And the whole multi- 
tude sought to touch him : for 
there went virtue out of him, 
and healed them all. 

SECTION 16. 
MATT. 5. 1. And seeing 
the multitudes, he went up 
into a mountain : and when he 
was set, his disciples came un- 
to him : 

LUKE 6. 20, And he lifted 
up his eyes on his disciples, 
MATT. 5. 2. And he opened 
his mouth, and taught them, 
saying, 

3. Blessed are the poor in 
spirit : for their^s is the king- 
dom of heaven. 

4. Blessed are they that 
mourn : for they shall be com- 
forted. 



5. Blessed are the meek: for 
they shall inherit the earth. 

6. Blessed are they which 
do hunger and thirst after 
righteousness : for they shall 
be filled. 

7. Blessed are the merciful: 
for they shall obtain mercy. 

8. Blessed are the pure in 
heart : for they shall see God. 

9. Blessed are the peace- 
makers : for they shall be call- 
ed the children of God. 

10. Blessed are they which 
are persecuted for righteous- 
ness^ sake : for their^s is the 
kingdom of heaven. 

LU KE 6. 22. Blessed are ye, 
when men shall hate you, and 
when they shall separate you 
from their company, and shall 
reproach you, and cast out 
your name as evil, for the Son 
of man's sake. 

MATT. 5. 11, Blessed are ye, 
when men shall revile you, and 
persecute you, and shall say 
all manner of evil against you 
falsely, for my sake. 

12. Kejoice, and be exceed- 
ing glad : for great is your re- 
ward in heaven : for so perse- 
cuted they the prophets which 
were before you. 
LUKE 6. 23. Kejoice ye in 
that day, and leap for joy : for, 
behold, your reward is great 
in heaven : for in the like man- 
ner did their fathers unto the 
prophets. 

24. But woe unto you that 
are rich ! for ye have received 
your consolation. 

25. Woe unto you that are 
full ! for ye shall hunger. Woe 
unto you that laugh now ! for 
ye shall mourn and weep. 



36 



LUKE 6. 26. Woe unto you, 
when all men shall speak well 
of you ! for so did their fa- 
thers to the false prophets. 
MATT. 5. 13. Ye are the 
salt of the earth : but if the 
salt have lost his savour, where- 
with shall it be salted? it is 
thenceforth good for nothing, 
but to be cast out, and to be 
trodden under foot of men. 

14. Ye are the light of the 
world. A city that is set on an 
hill cannot be hid. 

15. Neither do men light a 
candle, and put it under a 
bushel, but on a candlestick ; 
and it giveth light unto all 
that are in the house. 

16. Let your light so shine 
before men, that they may see 
your good works, and glorify 
your Father which is in heaven. 

17. Think not that I am come 
to destroy the 1 aw, or the proph- 
ets : I am not come to destroy, 
but to fulfil. 

18. For verily I say unto 
you, Till heaven and earth 
pass, one jot or one tittle shall 
in no wise pass from the law, 
till all be fulfilled. 

19. Whosoever therefore 
shall break one of these least 
commandments, and shall 
teach men so, he shall be 
called the least in the king- 
dom of heaven : but whosoever 
shall do and teach them, the 
same shall be called great in 
the kingdom of heaven. 

20. For I say unto you. That 
except your righteousness 
shall exceed the righteousness 
of the scribes and Pharisees, 
ye shall in no case enter into 
the kingdom of heaven. 



21. Ye have heard that it 
was said by them of old time. 
Thou shalt not kill; and who- 
soever shall kill shall be in 
danger of the judgment: 

22. But I say unto you. That 
whosoever is angry with his 
brother without a cause shall 
be in danger of the judgment: 
and whosoever shall say to his 
brother, Eaca, shall be in dan- 
ger of the council: but whoso- 
ever shall say, Thou fool, shall 
be in danger of hell fire. 

23- Therefore if thou bring 
thy gift to the altar, and there 
rememberest that thy brother 
hath ought against thee; 

24. Leave there thy gift be- 
fore the altar, and go thy way; 
first be reconciled to thy broth- 
er, and then come and offer 
thy gift. 

25. Agree with thine adver- 
sary quickly, whiles thou art in 
the way with him; lest at any 
time the adversary deliver thee 
to the judge, and the judge de- 
liver thee to the officer, and 
thou be cast into prison. 

26. Verily I say unto thee, 
Thou shalt by no means come 
out thence, till thou hast paid 
the uttermost farthing. 

27. Ye have heard that it 
was said by them of old time. 
Thou shalt not commit adul- 
tery: 

28. But I say unto you. That 
whosoever looketh on a woman 
to lust after her hath committed 
adu Itery with her already in his 
heart. 

29. And if thy right eye of- 
fend thee, pluck it out, and cast 
it from thee : for it is profit- 
able for thee that one of thy 



37 



members should perish, and 
not that thy whole body should 
be cast into hell. 
MATT. 5. 30. And if thy 
right hand ofPend thee, cut it 
off, and cast it from thee : for 
it is profitable for thee that 
one of thy members should 
perish, and not that thy whole 
body should be cast into hell. 

31. It hath been said, Who- 
soever shall put away his wife, 
let him give her a writing of 
divorcement: 

32. But I say unto you, That 
whosoever shall put away his 
wife,savingforthe cause of for- 
nication, causeth her to com- 
mit adultery: and whosoever 
shall marry her that is di- 
vorced committeth adultery. 

33. Again, ye have heard that 
it hath been said by them of 
old time, Thou shalt not for- 
swear thyself, but shalt per- 
form unto the Lord thine 
oaths : 

34. But I say unto you, 
Swear not at all ; neither by 
heaven; for it is God's throne: 

35. Nor by the earth ; for it 
is his footstool: neither by 
Jerusalem; for it is the city 
of the great King. 

36. Neither shalt thou swear 
by thy head, because thou 
canst not make one hair white 
or black. 

37. But let your communi- 
cation be, Yea, yea ; Nay, nay: 
for whatsoever is more than 
these Cometh of evil. 

38. Ye have heard that it 
hath been said, An eye for an 
eye, and a toof h for a tooth : 

39. But I say unto you, That 
ye resist not evil : but whoso- 



ever shall smite thee on thy 
right cheek, turn to him the 
other also. 

40. A nd if any man will sue 
thee at the law, and take away 
thy coat, let him have thy cloke 
also. 

41. And whosoever shall 
compel thee to go a mile, go 
with him twain. 

42. Give to him that asketh 
thee, and from him that would 
borrow of thee turn not thou 
awav. 

LUKE 6. 30. And of him 

that taketh away thy goods 
ask them not again. 
MATT. 5. 43. Ye have 
heard that it hath been said, 
Thou shalt love thy neighbour, 
and hate thine enemy. 

44. But I say unto you. Love 
your enemies, bless them that 
curse you, do good to them 
that hate you, and pray for 
them which despitefully use 
you, and persecute you; 

45. That ye may be the 
children of your Father which 
is in heaven: for he maketh 
his sun to rise on the evil and 
on the good, and sendeth rain 
on the just and on the unjust. 

46. For if ye love them 
which love you, what reward 
have ye? do not even the pub- 
licans the same? 

47. And if ye salute your 
brethren only, what do ye 
more than others? do not even 
the publicans so? 

LUKE 6- 33. And if ye do 
good to them which do good 
to you, what thank have ye? 
for sinners also do even the 
same. 

34. And if ye lend to them 



38 



of whom ye hope to receive, 
what thank have ye? for sin- 
ners also lend to sinners, to 
receive as much again. 
LUKE 6. 35. But love ye 
your enemies, and do good, 
and lend, hoping for nothing 
again ; and your reward shall 
be great, and ye shall be the 
children of the Highest: for 
he is kind unto the unthankful 
and to the evil. 

36. Be ye therefore merci- 
ful, as your Father also is mer- 
ciful. 

SECTION 17. 

MATT. 6. 1. Takeheedthat 
ye do not your alms before men, 
to be seen of them: otherwise 
ye have no reward of your 
Father which is in heaven. 

2. Therefore when thou doest 
thine alms, do not sound a 
trumpet before thee, as the 
hypocrites do in the syna- 
gogues and in the streets, that 
they may have glory of men. 
Verily I say unto you, They 
have their reward. 

3. But when thou doest alms, 
let not thy left hand know 
what thy right hand doeth: 

4. That thine alms may be in 
secret : and thy Father which 
seeth in secret himself shall 
reward thee openly. 

5. And when thou prayest, 
thou shalt not be as the hypo- 
crites are: for they love to 
pray standing in the syna- 
gogues and in the corners of 
the streets, that they may be 
seen of men. Verily I say unto 
you. They have their reward. 

6. But thou, when thou pray- 
est, enter into thy closet, and 



when thou hast shut thy door, 
pray to thy Father which is in 
secret; and thy Father which 
seeth in secret shall reward 
thee openly. 

7. But when ye pray, use 
not vain repetitions, as the 
heathen do: for they think that 
they shall be heard for their 
much speaking. i 

8. Be noi ye therefore like j 
unto them: for your Father 
knoweth what things ye have 
need of, before ye ask him. 

9. After this manner there- 
fore pray ye : Oar Father 
which art in heaven, Hallowed 
be thy name. 

10. Thy kingdom come. Thy 
will be done in earth, as it is 
in heaven. 

11. Give us this day our daily 
bread. 

12. And forgive us our debts, 
as we forgive our debtors. 

13. And lead us not into 
temptation, but deliver us from 
evil : For thine is the kingdom, 
and the power, and the glory, 
for ever. Amen. 

14. For if ye forgive men j 
their trespasses, your heavenly i 
Father will also forgive you : 

15. But if ye forgive not 
men their trespasses, neither 
will your Father forgive your 
trespasses. 

16. Moreover when ye fast, 
be not, as the hypocrites, of a 
sad countenance : for they dis- 
figure their faces, that they 
may appear unto men to fast. 
Verily I say unto you, They 
have their reward. 

17. But thou, when thou 
fastest, anoint thine head, and 
wash thy face ; 



39 



MATT. 6. 18. That thou 
appear not unto men to fast, 
but unto thy Father which is 
in secret : and thy Father, 
which seeth in secret, shall re- 
ward thee openly. 

19. Lay not up for your- 
selves treasures upon earth, 
where moth and rust doth cor- 
rupt, and where thieves break 
through and steal: 

20. But lay up for yourselves 
treasures in heaven, where 
neither moth nor rust doth 
corrupt, and where thieves do 
not break through nor steal : 

21. For where your treasure 
is, there will your heart be 
also. 

22. The light of the body is 
the eye : if therefore thine eye 
be single, thy whole body shall 
be full of light. 

23. But if thine eye be evil, 
thy whole body shall be full of 
darkness. If therefore the 
light that is in thee be dark- 
ness, how great is that dark- 
ness ! 

24. No man can serve two 
masters : for either he will 
hate the one, and love the 
other ; or else he will hold to 
the one, and despise the other. 
Ye cannot serve God and mam- 
mon. 

25. Therefore I say unto 
you, Take no thought for your 
life, what ye shall eat, or what 
ye shall drink; nor yet for 
your body, what ye shall put 
on. Is not the life more than 
meat, and the body than rai- 
ment? 

^ 26. Behold the fowls of the 
air: for they sow not, neither 
do they reap, nor gather into 



barns ; yet your heavenly Fa-' 
ther feedeth them. Are ye 
not much better than they? 

27. Which of you by taking 
thought can add one cubit 
unto his stature ? 

28. And why take ye thought 
for raiment? Consider the 
lilies of the field, how they 
grow; they toil not, neither do 
they spin : 

29. And yet I say unto you. 
That even Solomon in all his 
glory was not arrayed like one 
of these. 

30. Wherefore, if God so 
clothe the grass of the field, 
which to-day is, and to-morrow 
is cast into the oven, shall he 
not much more clothe you, O 
ye of little faith? 

31. Therefore take no 
thought, saying. What shall we 
eat? or. What shall we drink? 
or, Wherewithal shall we be 
clothed? 

32. (For after all these things 
do the Gentiles seek : ) for 
your heavenly Father knoweth 
that ye have need of all these 
things. 

33. But seek ye first the 
kingdom of God, and his right- 
eousness ; and all these things 
shall be added unto you. 

34. Take therefore no 
thought for the morrow : for 
the morrow shall take thought 
for the things of itself. Suffi- 
cient unto the day is the evil 
thereof. 

LUKE 6. 37. Judge not, and 
ye shall not be judged : con- 
demn not, and ye shall not be 
condemned: forgive, and ye 
shall be forgiven: 



40 



MATT. 7. 2. For with what 
judgment ye judge, ye shall be 
judged : and with whatmeasure 
ye mete, it shall be measured to 
you again. 

LUKE 6. 38. Give, and it 
shall be given unto you ; good 
measure, pressed down, and 
shaken together, and running 
over, shall men give into your 
bosom. For with the same 
measure that ye mete withal 
it shall be measured to you 
again. 

39. And he spake a parable 
unto them. Can the blind lead 
the blind ? shall they not both 
fall into the ditch ? 

40. The disciple is not above 
his master : but every one that 
is perfect shall be as his mas- 
ter. 

41. And why beholdest thou 
the mote that is in thy broth- 
er's eye, but perceivest not the 
beam that is in thine own eye ? 

42. Either how canst thou 
say to thy brother, Brother, let 
me pull out the mote that is in 
thine eye, when thou thyself 
beholdest not the beam that is 
in thine own eye? Thou hypo- 
crite, cast out first the beam out 
of thine own eye, and then 
shalt thou see clearly to pull 
out the mote that is in thy 
brother's eye. 

SECTION 18. 
MATT. 7. 6. Give not that 
which is holy unto the dogs, 
neither cast ye your pearls be- 
fore swine, lest they trample 
them under their feet, and 
turn again and rend you. 

7. Ask, and it shall be given 
you; seek, and ye shall find; 



knock, and it shall be opened 
unto you : 

8 . For every one th at asketh 
receiveth ; and he that seeketh 
findeth; and to him that knock- 
eth it shall be opened. 

9. Or what man is there of 
yoUjWhom if his son ask bread, 
will he give him a stone ? 

10. Or if he ask a fish, will 
he give him a serpent ? 

11. If ye then, being evil, 
know how to give good gifts 
unto your children, how much 
more shall your Father which 
is in heaven give good things 
to them that ask him ? 

12. Therefore all things 
whatsoever ye would that men 
should do to you, do ye even 
so to them ; for this is the law 
and the prophets. 

13. Enter ye in at the strait 
gate : for wide is the gate, and 
broadis the way, that leadeth to 
destruction, and many there be 
which go in thereat : 

14. Because strait is the 
gate, and narrow is the way, 
which leadeth unto life, and 
few there be that find it. 

15. Beware of false proph- 
ets, which come to you in 
sheep's clothing, but inwardly 
they are ravening wolves. 

16. Ye shall know them by 
their fruits. Do men gather 
grapes of thorns, or figs of 
thistles? 

17. Even so every good tree 
bringeth forth good fruit ; but 
a corrupt tree bringeth forth 
evil fruit. 

18. A good tree cannot 
bring forth evil fruit, neither 
can a corrupt tree bring forth 
good fruit. 



41 



MATT. 7. 19. Every tree 
that bringeth not forth good 
fruit is hewn down, and cast 
into the fire. 

20. Wherefore bytheirfruits 
ye shall know them. 
LUKE 6. 45. A good man 
out of the good treasure of his 
heart bringeth forth that which 
is good ; and an evil man out 
of the evil treasure of his 
heart bringeth forth that which 
is evil: for of the abundance 
of the heart his mouth speak- 
eth. 

MATT. 7. 21. Not every one 
that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, 
shall enter into the kingdom 
of heaven ; but he that doeth 
the will of my Father which 
is in heaven. 

22. Many will say to me in 
that day, Lord, Lord, have we 
not prophesied in thy name ? 
and in thy name have cast out 
devils? and in thy name done 
many wonderful works ? 

23. And then will I profess 
unto them, I never knew you: 
depart from me, ye that work 
iniquity. 

LUKE 6. 46. And why call 
ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not 
the things which I say? 
MATT. 7. 24. Therefore 
whosoever heareth these say- 
ings of mine, and doeth them, 
I will liken him unto a wise 
man, which built his house 
LUKE 6. 48. And digged 
deep, and laid the foundation 
on a rock : 

MATT. 7. 25. And the rain 
descended, and the floods 
came, and the winds blew, and 
beat upon that house ; and it 



fell not : for it was founded 
upon a rock. 

26. And every one that 
heareth these sayings of mine, 
and doeth them not, shall be 
likened unto a foolish man, 
which built his house upon the 
sand : 

27. And the rain descend- 
ed, and the floods came, and 
the winds blew, and beat upon 
that house ; and it fell : and 
great was the fall of it. 

28. And it came to pass, 
when Jesus had ended these 
sayings, the people were aston- 
ished at his doctrine : 

29. For he taught them as 
one having authority, and not 
as the scribes. 

SECTION 19. 

MATT. 8. ]. When he was 
come down from the mountain, 
great multitudes followed him. 
LUKE 7. 1. Now when he 
had ended all his sayings in 
the audience of the people, he 
entered into Capernaum. 

2. And a certain centu- 
rion's servant, who was dear 
unto him, was sick, and ready 
to die. 

3. And when he heard of 
Jesus, he sent unto him the 
elders of the Jews, beseeching 
him that he would come and 
heal his servant. 

4. And when they came to' 
Jesus, they besought hita in- 
stantly, saying. That he was 
worthy for whom he should do 
this : 

5. For he loveth our nation, 
and he hath built us a syna- 
gogue. 



42 



LUKE 7. 6. Then Jesus 
went with them. And when 
he was now not far from the 
house, the centurion sent 
friends to him, saying unto 
him, Lord, trouble not thy- 
self : for I am not worthy that 
thou shouldest enter under 
my roof : 

7. Wherefore neither thought 
I myself worthy to come unto 
thee : but say in a word, and 
my servant shall be healed. 

8. For I also am a man set 
under authority, having under 
me soldiers, and I say unto 
one, Go, and he goeth ; and to 
another. Come, and he Com- 
eth ; and to my servant, Do 
this, and he doeth it. 

9. When Jesus heard these 
things, he marvelled at him, 
and tu-rned about him, and 
said unto the people that fol- 
lowed him, I say unto you, I 
have not found so great faith, 
no, not in Israel. 

MATT. 8. 11. And I say 
unto you, That many shall 
come from the east and west, 
and shall sit down with Abra- 
ham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in 
the kingdom of heaven. 

12. But the children of the 
kingdom shall be cast out into 
outer darkness : there shall be 
weeping and gnashing of teeth. 

13 . And Jesus said unto the 
centurion. Go thy way ; and as 
thou hast believed, so be it 
done unto thee. 

LUKE 7. 10. And they that 
were sent, returning to the 
house, found the servant 
whole that had been sick. 

11. And it came to pass the 
day after, that he went into a 



city called Nain ; and many 
of his disciples went with him, 
and much people. 

12 . Now when he came nigh 
to the gate of the city, behold, 
there was a dead man carried 
out, the only son of his mother, 
and she was a widow : and 
much people of the city was 
with her. 

13. And when the Lord saw 
her, he had compassion on her, 
and said unto her, Weep not. 

14. And he came and touch- 
ed the bier: and they that bare 
him stood still. And he said, 
Young man, I say unto thee, 
Arise. 

15. And he that was dead 
sat up, and began to speak. 
And he delivered him to his 
mother. 

16. And there came a fear 
on all : and they glorified God, 
saying. That a great prophet 
is risen up among us ; and. 
That God hath visited his 
people. 

17. And this rumour of him 
went forth throughout all Ju- 
daea, and throughout all the 
region round about. 

18. And the disciples of 
John shewed him of all these 
things. 

19. And John 

MATT. I I. 2. In the prison 
LUKE 7. 19. Calling unto 
him two of his disciples sent 
them to Jesus, saying, Art thou 
he that should come ? or look 
we for another ? 

20. When the men were 
come unto him, they said , J ohn 
Baptist hath sent us unto thee, 
saying, Art thou he that should 
come ? or look we for another ? 



43 



LUKE 7. 21. And in that 
same hour he cured many of 
their infirmities and plagues, 
and of evil spirits ; and unto 
many that were blind he gave 
sight. 

22. Then Jesus answering 
said unto them, Go your way, 
and tell John what things ye 
have seen and heard; how that 
the blind see, the lame walk, 
the lepers are cleansed, the 
deaf hear, the dead are rais- 
ed, to the poor the gospel is 
preached. 

23. And blessed is he, who- 
soever shall not be offended 
in me. 

24. And when the messen- 
gers of John were departed, he 
began to speak unto the people 
concerning John, What went 
ye out into the wilderness for 
to see ? A reed shaken with 
the wind ? 

25. But what went ye out for 
to see? A man clothed in soft 
raiment? Behold, they which 
are gorgeously apparelled, and 
live delicately, are in kings' 
courts. 

26. But what went ye out 
for to see ? A prophet ? Yea, I 
say unto you, and much more 
than a prophet. 

27. This is he, of whom it 
is written. Behold, I send my 
messenger before thy face, 
which shall prepare thy way 
before thee. 

28. For I say unto you, 
Among those that are born of 
women there is not a greater 
prophet than John the Bap- 
tist : but he that is least in the 
kingdom of God is greater than 
he. 



MATT. M . 12. And from 
the days of John the Baptist 
until now the kingdom of heav- 
en suffereth violence, and the 
violent take it by force. 

13. For all the prophets 
and the law prophesied until 
John. 

14. And if ye will receive 
it, this is Elias, which was for 
to come. 

1 5. He that hath ears to hear, 
let him hear. 

LUKE 7. 29. And all the 

people that heard him, and the 
publicans, justified God, being 
baptized with the baptism of 
John. 

30. But the Pharisees and 
lawyers rejected the counsel 
of God against themselves, be- 
ing not baptized of him. 

31. And the Lord said, 
Whereunto then shall I liken 
the men of this generation? 
and to what are they like ? 

32. They are like unto chil- 
dren sitting in the market- 
place, and calling one to an- 
other, and saying. We have 
piped unto you, and ye have 
not danced ; we have mourned 
to you, and ye have not wept. 

33. For John the Baptist 
came neither eating bread nor 
drinking wine ; and ye say, He 
hath a devil. 

34. The Son of man is come 
eating and drinking ; and ye 
say. Behold a gluttonous man, 
and a winebibber, a friend of 
publicans and sinners ! 

35. But wisdom is justified 
of all her children. 

36. And one of the Phari- 
sees desired him that he would 
eat with him. And he went into 



44 



the Pharisee's house, and sat 
down to meat. 

LUKE 7. 37. And, behold, 
a woman in the city, which 
was a sinner, when she knew 
that Jesus sat at meat in the 
Pharisee's house, brought an 
alabaster box of ointment, 

38. And stood at his feet be- 
hind him weeping, and began 
to wash his feet with tears, 
and did wipe them with the 
hairs of her head, and kissed 
his feet, and anointed them 
with the ointment. 

39. Now when the Pharisee 
which had bidden him saw it, 
he spake within himself, say- 
ing, This man, if he were a 
prophet, would have known 
who and what manner of wo- 
man this is that toucheth him : 
for she is a sinner. 

40. And Jesus answering 
said unto him, Simon, I have 
somewhat to say unto thee. 
And he saith. Master, say on. 

41. There was a certain 
creditor which had two debt- 
ors : the one owed five hundred 
pence, and the other fifty. 

42. And when ihey had 
nothing to pay, he frankly 
forgave them both. Tell me 
therefore, which of them will 
love him most ? 

43. Simon answered and 
said, I suppose that he, to whom 
he forgave most. And he said 
unto him. Thou hast rightly 
judged. 

44. And he turned to the 
woman, and said unto Simon, 
Seest thou this woman ? I en- 
tered into thine house, thou 
gayest me no water for my 
feet : but she hath washed my 



feet with tears, and wiped them 
with the hairs of her head. 

45. Thou gavest me no kiss : 
but this woman since the time 
I came in hath not ceased to 
kiss my feet. 

46. My head with oil thou 
didst not anoint : but this 
woman hath anointed my 
feet with ointment. 

47. Wherefore I say unto 
thee, Her sins, which are many, 
are forgiven ; for she loved 
much: but to whom little is for- 
given, the same loveth little. 

48. And he said unto her, 
Thy sins are forgiven. 

49. And they the.t sat at 
meat with him began to say 
within themselves, AVho is this 
that forgiveth sins also? 

50. And he said to the 
woman. Thy faith hath saved 
ihee ; go in peace. 

SECTION 20. 

LUKE 8. 1. And it came to 
pass afterward, that he went 
throughout every city and vil- 
lage, preaching and shewing 
the glad tidings of the kingdom 
of God : and the twelve were 
with him. 

2. And certain women, 
which had been healed of evil 
spirits and infirmities, Mary 
called Magdalene, out of whom 
went seven devils, 

3. And Joanna the wife of 
Chuza Herod's steward, and 
Susanm, and many others, 
which ministered unto him 
of their substance. 

22. Now it came to pass on 
a certain day, that he went 
into a ship with his disciples : 



45 



and he said unto them, Let us 
go over unto the other side of 
the lake. 

MARK 4. 36. And when they 
had sent away the multitude, 
they took him even as he was 
in the ship. 

LUKE 8. 22. And they 
launched forth. 
MARK 4. 36. And there were 
also with him other little ships. 

37. And there arose a great 
storm of wind, and the waves 
beat into the ship, so that it 
was now full. 

38. And he was in the hind- 
er part of the ship, asleep on 
a pillow : and they awake him, 
and say unto him. Master, 
carest thou not that we perish? 

39. And he arose, and re- 
buked the wind, and said unto 
the sea. Peace, be still. And 
the wind ceased, and there was 
a great calm. 

40. And he said unto them. 
Why are ye so fearful ? how 
is it that ye have no faith ? 

41. And they feared exceed- 
ingly, and said one to another. 
What manner of man is this, 
that even the wind and the sea 
obey him ? 

MARKS. 1 . And they came 
over unto the other side of the 
sea, into the country of the 
Gadarenes. 

2. And when he was come 
out of the ship, immediately 
there met him out of the tombs 
a man with an unclean spirit, 
LUKE 8. 27. Which had 
devils long time, and ware no 
clothes, neither abode in any 
house, 

MARK 5. 3. Who had his 

dwelling among the tombs; and 



no man could bind him, no, 
not with chains : 

4. Because that he had been 
often bound with fetters and 
chains,and the chains had been 
plucked asunder by him, and 
the fetters broken in pieces : 
neither could any man tame 
him. 

5. And always, night and 
day, he was in the mountains, 
and in the tombs, crying, and 
cutting himself with stones. 

6. But when he saw Jesus 
afar ojff, he ran and worshipped 
him, 

7. And cried with a loud 
voice, and said. What have I 
to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son 
of the most high God ? I ad- 
jure thee by God, that thou 
torment me not. 
LUKES. 29.(Forhehadcom- 
manded the unclean spirit to 
come outof theman. Foroften- 
times it had caught him : and 
he was kept bound with chains 
and in fetters ; and he brake 
the bands, and was driven of 
the devil into the wilderness.) 

30. And Jesus asked him, 
saying, What is thy name? and 
he said. Legion : because many 
devils were entered into him. 

31. And they besought him 
that he would not command 
them to go out into the deep. 
MARK 5. 11. Now there was 
there nigh unto the mountains 
a great herd of swine feeding. 

12. And all the devils be- 
sought him, saying. Send us 
into the swine, that we may 
enter into them. 

13. And forthwith Jesus 
gave them leave. And the un- 
clean spirits went out, and en- 



46 



tered into the swine : and the 
herd ran violently down a 
steep place into the sea, (they 
were about two thousand;) and 
were choked in the sea. 
MARK 5. 14. And they that 
fed the swine fled, and told it 
in the city, and in the country. 
And they went out to see what 
it was that was done. 

15. And they come to Jesus, 
and see him that was possessed 
with the devil, and had the 
legion, sitting, and clothed, and 
in his right mind : and they 
were afraid. 

16. And they that saw it told 
them how it befel to him that 
was possessed with the devil, 
and also concerning the swine. 
LUKE 8. 37. Then the whole 
multitude of the country of the 
Gadarenes round about be- 
sought him to depart from 
them; for they were taken with 
great fear : 

MARKS. 18. Andwhenhe 
was come into the ship, he that 
had been possessed with the 
devil prayed him that he 
might be with him. 

19. Howbeit Jesus suffered 
him not, but saith unto him, 
Go home to thy friends, and 
tell them how great things the 
Lord hath done for thee, and 
hath had compassion on thee. 

20. And he departed, and 
began to publish in Decapolis 
how great things Jesus had 
done for him : and all men did 
marvel. 

21. And when Jesus was 
passed over again by ship un- 
to the other side, much people 
gathered unto him : and he was 
nigh unto the sea. 



22. And, behold, there com- 
eth one of the rulers of the 
synagogue, Jairus by name ; 
and when he saw him, he fell 
at his feet, 

23. And besought him great- 
ly, saying. My little daughter 
lieth at the point of death : I 
pray thee, come and lay thy 
hands on her, that she may be 
healed ; and she shall live. 

24. And Jesus went with 
him ; and much people follow- 
ed him, and thronged him. 

25. And a certain woman, 
which had an issue of blood 
twelve years, 

26. And had suffered many 
things of many physicians, and 
had spent all that she had, and 
was nothing bettered, but rath- 
er grew worse, 

27. When she had heard of 
Jesus, came in the press be- 
hind, and touched his garment. 

28. For she said. If I may 
touch but his clothes, I shall 
be whole. 

29. And straightway the 
fountain of her blood was dried 
up ; and she felt iu her body 
that she was healed of that 
plague. 

LUKE 8. 45. And Jesus said, 
Who touched me ? When all 
denied, Peter and they that 
were with him said. Master, 
the multitude throng thee and 
press thee, and sayest thou, 
Who touched me? 

46. And Jesus said, Some- 
body hath touched me : for I 
perceive that virtue is gone 
out of me. 

MARK 5. 32. And he looked 
round about to see her that had 
done this thing. 



47 



LUKES. 47. And when the 
woman saw that she was not 
hid, she came trembling, and 
falling down before him, she 
declared unto him before all 
the people for what cause she 
had touched him, and how she 
was healed immediately. 
MARK 5. 34, And he said 
unto her. Daughter, thy faith 
hath made thee whole ; go in 
peace, and be whole of thy 
plague. 

35. While he yet spake, 
there came from the ruler of 
the synagogue's house certain 
which said, Thy daughter is 
dead : why troublest thou the 
Master any further ? 

36. As soon as Jesus heard 
the word that was spoken, he 
saith unto the ruler of the syn- 
agogue, Be not afraid, only 
believe. 

37. And he suffered no man 
to follow him, save Peter, and 
James, and John the brother 
of James, 

LUKES. 51. And the father 
and the mother of the maiden. 
MARK 5. 38. And seeth 
the tumult, and them that wept 
and wailed greatly. 
M ATT. 9. 23. And saw the 
minstrels and the people mak- 
ing a noise, 

24. He said unto them, 
Give place : 

MARK 5. 39. And when he 
was come in, he saith unto 
them. Why make ye this ado, 
and weep ? the damsel is not 
dead, but sleepeth. 

40. And they laughed him 
to scorn. But when he had put 
them all out, he taketh the 
father and the mother of the 



damsel, and them that were 
with him, and entereth in 
where the damsel was lying. 

41. And he took the damsel 
by the hand, and said unto 
her, Talitha cumi ; which is, 
being interpreted. Damsel, I 
say unto thee, arise. 

42. And straightway the 
damsel arose, and walked ; for 
she was of the age of twelve 
years. And they were aston- 
ished with a great astonish- 
ment. 

43. And he charged them 
straitly that no man should 
know it ; and commanded that 
something should be given her 
to eat. 

SECTION 21. 

MATT. 9. 27. And when 
Jesua^ departed thence, two 
blind men followed him, cry- 
ing, and saying. Thou son of 
David, have mercy on us. 

28. And when he was come 
into the house, the blind men 
came to him : and J esus saith 
unto them. Believe ye that I 
am able to do this ? They said 
unto him, Yea, Lord. 

29. Then touched he their 
eyes, saying, According to your 
faith be it unto you. 

30. And their eyes were 
opened; and Jesus straitly 
charged them, saying, See that 
no man know it. 

31. But they, when they 
were departed, spread abroad 
his fame in all that country. 

32. As they went out, be- 
hold, they brought to him a 
dumb man possessed with a 
devil. 



48 



MATT. 9. 33. And when 
the devil was cast out, the 
dumb spake: and the multi- 
tudes marvelled, saying, It was 
never, so seen in Israel. 

34. But the Pharisees said, 
He casteth out devils through 
the prince of the devils. 

35. And Jesus went about 
all the cities and villages, 
teaching in their synagogues, 
and preaching the gospel of 
the kingdom, and healing 
every sickness and every dis- 
ease among the people. 

36. But when he saw the 
multitudes, he was moved 
with compassion on them, be- 
cause they fainted, and were 
scattered abroad, as sheep hav- 
ing no shepherd. 

37. Then saith he unto his 
disciples. The harvest truly is 
plenteous, but the labourers 
are few; 

38. Pray ye therefore the 
Lord of the harvest, that he will 
send forth labourers into his 
harvest. 

SECTION 22. 

MATT. 10. 1. And when he 
had called unto him his twelve 
disciples, he gave them power 
against unclean spirits, to cast 
them out, and to heal all man- 
ner of sickness and all man- 
ner of diseases. 

5. These twelve Jesus sent 
forth, 

MARK 6. 7. Bytwoandtwo; 
MATT. 10. 5. And com- 
manded them, saying. Go not 
into the way of the Gentiles, 
and into any city of the Sa- 
maritans enter ye not : 



6. But go rather to the lost 
sheep of the house of Israel. 

7. And as ye go, preach, 
saying. The kingdom of heav- 
en is at hand. 

8. Heal the sick, cleanse 
the lepers, raise the dead, cast 
out devils : freely ye have re- 
ceived, freely give. 

j 9. Provide neither gold, nor 
i silver, nor brass in your purses, 
I 10. Nor scrip for your jour- 
I ney, neither two coats, neither 
I shoes, nor yet staves : for the 
j workman is worthy of his meat. 
I 11. And into whatsoever 
city or town ye shall enter, en- 
quire who in it is worthy ; and 
there abide till ye go thence. 

12. And when ye come into 
an house, salute it. 

13. And if the house be 
worthy, let your peace come 
upon it: butif it be not worthy, 
let your peace return to you. 

14. And whosoever shall not 
receive you, nor hear your 
words, when ye depart out of 
that house or city, shake off 
the dust of your feet. 

15. Yerily I say unto you, 
It shall be more tolerable for 
the land of Sodom and Gomor- 
rha in the day of judgment, 
than for that city. 

16. Behold, I send you forth 
as sheep in the midst of wolves : 
be ye therefore wise as ser- 
pents, and harmless as doves. 

17. But beware of men : for 
they will deliver you up to the 
councils, and they will scourge 
you in their synagogues ; 

18. And ye shall be brought 
before governors and kings for 
my sake, for a testimony 
against them and the Gentiles. 



49 



I MATT. 10. 19. But when 
i| they deliver you up, take no 
i thought how or what ye shall 
speak: for it shall be given 
you in that same hour what ye 
shall speak. 

20. For it is not ye that 
speak, but the Spirit of your 
Father which speaketh in you. 

21. And the brother shall 
deliver up the brother to death, 

I an(J the father the child: and the 
children shall rise up against 
their parents, and cause them 
to be put to death. 

22. And ye shall be hated of 
all men for my name's sake: 
but he that endureth to the 
end shall be saved. 

23. But when they persecute 
you in this city, flee ye into 
another : for verily I say unto 
you, ye shall not have gone 
over the cities of Israel, till 
the Son of man be come. 

24. The disciple is not above 
his master, nor the servant 
above his lord. 

25. It is enough for the dis- 
ciple that he be as his master, 
and the servant as his lord. 
If they have called the mas- 
ter of the house Beelzebub, 
how much more shall they call 
them of his household? 

26. Fear them not there- 
fore : for there is nothing cov- 
ered, that shall not be revealed; 
and hid, that shall not be 
known. 

27. What I tell you in dark- 
ness, that speak ye in light: 
and what ye hear in the ear, 
that preach ye upon the house- 
tops. I 

28. And fear not them which : 
kill the body, but are uot able \ 



to kill the soul: but rather 
fear him which is able to de- 
stroy both soul and body in 
hell. 

29. Are not two sparrows 
sold for a farthing? and one 
of them shall not fall on the 
ground without your Father. 

30. But the very hairs of 
your head are all numbered. 

31. Fear ye not therefore, 
ye are of more value than 
many sparrows. 

32. Whosoever therefore 
shall confess me before men, 
him will I confess also before 
my Father which is in heaven. 

33. But whosoever shall 
deny me before men, him will 
I also deny before my Father 
which is in heaven. 

34. Think not that I am 
come to send peace on earth : 
I came not to send peace, but 
a sword. 

35. For I am come to set a 
man at variance against his 
father, and the daughter 
against her mother, and the 
daughter in law against her 
mother in law. 

36. And a man's foes shall 
be they of his own household. 

37. He that loveth father 
or mother more than me is not 
worthy of me: and he that 
loveth son or daughter more 
than me is not worthy of me. 

38. And he that taketh not 
his cross, and followeth after 
me, is not worthy of me, 

39. He that findeth his life 
shall lose it: and he that los- 
eth his life for my sake shall 

I find it. 

40. He that receiveth you 
i receiveth me, and he that r^- 



50 



ceiveth me receiveth him that 
sent me. 

MATT. 10. 41. He that 
receiveth a prophet in the 
name of a prophet shall re- 
ceive a prophet's reward; and 
he that receiveth a righteous 
man in the name of a right- 
eous man shall receive a right- 
eous man's reward. 

42. And whosoever shall 
give to drink unto one of these 
little ones a cup of cold water 
only in the name of a disciple, 
verily I say unto you, he shall 
in no wise lose his reward. 

SECTION 23. 

MATT. 11.1. And it came 
to pass, when Jesus had made 
an end of commanding his 
twelve disciples, he departed 
thence to teach and to preach 
in their cities. 

20. Then began he to up- 
braid the cities wherein most 
of his mighty works were done, 
because they repented not : 

21. Woe unto thee,Chorazin! 
woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for 
if the mighty works, which 
were done in you, had been 
done in Tyre and Sidon, they 
would have repented long ago 
in sackcloth and ashes. 

22. But I say unto you. It 
shall be more tolerable for 
Tyre and Sidon at the day of 
judgment, than for you. 

23. And thou, Capernaum, 
which art exalted unto heaven, 
shalt be brought down to hell : 
for if the mighty works, which 
have been done in thee, had 
been done in Sodom, it would 
have remained until this day. 



24. But I say unto you, That 
it shall be more tolerable for 
the land of Sodom in the day 
of judgment, than for thee. 

25. At that time Jesus an- 
swered and said, I thank thee, 
O Father, Lord of heaven and 
earth, because thou hast hid 
these things from the wise and 
prudent, and hast revealed 
them unto babes. 

26. Even so. Father: for so 
it seemed good in thy sight. 

27. All things are delivered 
unto me of my Father : and no 
man knoweth the Son, but the 
Father; neither knoweth any 
man the Father, save the Son, 
and he to whomsoever the Son 
will reveal him. 

28. Come unto me, all ye 
that labour and are heavy 
laden, and I will give you rest. 

29. Take my yoke upon you, 
and learn of me; for I am 
meek and lowly in heart : and 
ye shall find rest unto your 
souls. 

30. For my yoke is easy, 
and my burden is light. 

SECTION 24. 

MATT. 12. 15. And great 
multitudes followed him, and 
he healed them all ; 

16. And charged tbem that 
they should not make him 
known : 

17. That it might be fulfilled 
which was spoken by Esaias 
the prophet, saying, 

18. Behold my servant, 
whom I have chosen; my be- 
loved, in whom my soul is well 
pleased: I will put my spirit 
upon him, and he shall shew 
judgment to the Gentiles. 



51 



MATT, 12. 19. He shall 
not strive, nor cry ; neither 
shall any man hear his voice 
in the streets. 

20. A bruised reed shall he 
not break, and smoking flax 
shall he not quench, till he 
send forth judgment unto vic- 
tory. 

21. And in his name shall 
the Gentiles trust. 

22. Then was brought unto 
him one possessed with a 
devil, blind, and dumb: and 
he healed him, insomuch that 
the blind and dumb both spake 
and saw. 

23. And all the people were 
amazed, and said, Is not this 
the son of David? 

24. But when the Pharisees 
MARK 3. 22. And the 
scribes which carae down from 
Jerusalem 

MATT. I 2. 24. Heard it, 
they said. This fellow doth 
not cast out devils, but by 
Beelzebub the prince of the 
devils, 

25. And Jesus knew their 
thoughts, and said unto them. 
Every kingdom divided 
against itself is brought to 
desolation ; and every city or 
house divided against itself 
shall not stand : 

26. And if Satan cast out 
Satan, he is divided against 
himself; how shall then his 
kingdom stand ? 

27. And if I by Beelzebub 
cast out devils, by whom do 
your children cast them out? 
therefore they shall be your 
judges. 

28. But if I cast out devils 
by the Spirit of God, then the 



kingdom of God is come unto 
you. 

29. Or else how can one 
enter into a strong man's 
house, and spoil his goods, 
except he first bind the strong 
man ? and then he will spoil 
his house. 

30. He that is not with me 
is against me ; and he tbat 
gathereth not with me scatter- 
eth abroad. 

31. Wherefore I say unto 
you. All manner of sin and 
blasphemy shall be forgiven 
unto men : but the blasphemy 
against the Holy Ghost shall 
not be forgiven unto men. 

32. And whosoever speak- 
eth a word against the Son of 
man, it shall be forgiven him : 
but whosoever speaketh 
against the Holy Ghost, it 
shall not be forgiven him, 
neither in this world, neither 
in the world to come. 

33. Either make the tree 
good, and his fruit good ; or 
else make the tree corrupt, 
and his fruit corrupt : for the 
tree is known by his fruit. 

34. O generation of vipers, 
how can ye, being evil, speak 
good things? for out of the 
abundance of the heart the 
mouth speaketh. 

35. A good man out of the 
good treasure of the heart 
bringeth forth good things : 
and an evil man out of the 
evil treasure briogeth forth 
evil things. 

36. But I say unto you. 
That every idle word that 
men shall speak, they shall 
give account thereof in the 
day of judgment. 



52 



MATT. 12. 37. For by thy 

words thou shalt be justified, 
and by thy words thou shalt 
be condemned. 

38. Then certain of the 
scribes and of the Pharisees 
answered, saving, Master, we 
Avould see a sign from thee. 

39. Bat he answered and 
said unto them. An evil and 
adulterous generation seeketh 
after a sign ; and there shall 
no sign be given to it, but 
the sign of the prophet Jonas : 

40. For as Jonas was three 
days and three nights in the 
whale's belly ; so shall the Son 
of man be three days and 
three nights in the heart of 
the earth. 

41. The men of Nineveh 
shall rise in judgment with 
this generation, and shall con- 
demn it : because they repent- 
ed at the preaching of Jonas ; 
and, behold, a greater than Jo- 
nas is here. 

42. The queen of the south 
shall rise up in the judgment 
with this generation, and shall 
"condemn it: for she came from 
the uttermost parts of the 
earth to hear the wisdom of 
Solomon; and, behold, a 
greater than Solomon is here. 

43. When the unclean 
spirit is gone out of a man, 
he walketh through dry places, 
seeking rest, and findeth none. 

44. Then he saith, I will 
return into my house from 
whence I came out ; and when 
he is come, he tindeth it empty, 
swept, and garnished. 

45. Then goeth he, and 
taketh with himself seven 
other spirits more wicked than 



himself, and they enter in and 
dwell there : and the last state 
of that man is worse than the 
first. Even so shall it be also 
unto this wicked generation. 

46. AVhile he yet talked to 
; the people, behold, his mother 
i and his brethren stood with- 
i out, desiring to speak with 
j him. 

I 47. Then one said unto him, 
I Behold, thy mother and thy 
; brethren stand without, desir- 
ing to speak with thee. 

48. But he answered and 
said unto him that told him. 
Who is my mother? and who 
are my brethren? 

49. And he stretched forth 
his hand toward his disciples, 
and said. Behold my mother 
and my brethren I 

50. For whosoever shall do 
the will of my Father which 
is in heaven, the same is my 
brother, and sister, and 
mother. 

SECTION 25. 

MATT. 1.3. 1. The same 
day Jesus went out of the 
house and sat by the sea side. 

2. And great multitudes 
were gathered together unto 
him, so that he went into a 
ship, and sat; and the whole 
multitude stood on the shore. 

3. And he spake many 
things unto them in parables, 
saying, 

MARK 4. 3. Hearken ; 
MATT. I 3. 3. Behold, a 
sower went forth to sow ; 

4. And when he sowed, 
some seeds fell by the way 
side, and the fowls came and 
devoured them up ; 



53 



MATT. 13. 5. Some fell 
upon stony places, where they 
had not much earth : and 
forthwith they sprung up, be- 
cause they had no deepness of 
earth : 

6. And when the sun was 
up, they were scorched ; and 
because they had no root, they 
withered away. 

7. And some fell among 
thorns ; and the thorns sprung 
up, and choked them : 

8. But other fell into good 
ground, and brought forth 
fruit, some an hundred fold, 
some sixty fold, some thirty 
fold. 

9. Who hath ears to hear, 
let him hear. 

10. And the disciples came, 
and said unto him. Why speak- 
est thou unto them in parables? 

11. He answered and said 
unto them, Because it is given 
unto you to know the mys- 
teries of the kingdom of 
heaven, but to them it is not 
given. 

12. For whosoever hath, 
to him shall be given, and he 
shall have more abundance: 
but whosoever hath not, from 
him shall be taken away even 
that he hath. 

13. Therefore speak I to 
them in parables : because 
they seeing see not; and hear- 
ing they hear not, neither do 
they understand. 

14. And in them is ful- 
filled the prophecy of Esaias, 
which saith. By hearing ye 
shall hear, and shall not un- 
derstand ; and seeing ye shall 
see, and shall not perceive : 

15. For this people's heart 



is waxed gross, and their ears 
are dull of hearing, and their 
eyes they have closed; lest at 
any time they should see with 
their eyes, and hear with their 
ears, and should understand 
with their heart, and should 
be converted, and I should heal 
them. 

16. But blessed are your 
eyes> for they see : and your 
ears, for they hear. 

17. For verily I say unto 
you, That many prophets and 
righteous men have desired to 
see those things which ye see, 
and have not seen them ; and 
to hear those things which ye 
hear, and have not heard them. 

18. Hear ye therefore the 
parable of the sower. 
MARK 4. 14. The sower 
soweth the word. 

MATT. !3. 19. When any 
one heareth the word of the 
kingdom, and understandeth it 
not, then cometh the wicked 
one, and catcheth away that 
which was sown in his heart. 
This is he which received seed 
by the way side. 

20. But he that received the 
seed into stony places, the same 
is he that heareth the word, 
and anon with joy receiveth it ; 

21. Yet hath he not root in 
himself, but dureth for a while : 
for when tribulation or perse- 
cution ariseth because of the 
word, by and by he isofi-cnded. 

22. He also that received 
seed among the thorns is he 
that heareth the word ; and 
the care of this world, and the 
deceitfulness of riches, choke 
the word, and be becometh un- 
fruitful. 



54 



MATT. 13. 23. But lie that 
received seed into the good 
ground is he that heareth the 
word, and understandeth it ; 
which also beareth fruit, and 
bringeth forth, some an hun- 
dred fold, some sixty, some 
thirty. 

MARK 4. 21. And he said 
unto them, Is a candle brought 
to be put under a bushel, or 
under a bed? and not to be 
set on a candlestick? 

22. For there is nothing hid, 
which shall not be manifested ; 
neither was anything kept 
secret, but that it should come 
abroad. 

23. If any man have ears to 
hear, let him hear. 

24. And he said unto them, 
Take heed what ye hear : with 
what measure ye mete, it shall 
be measured to you : and unto 
you that hear shall more be 
given. 

25. For he that hath, to him 
shall be given: and he that 
hath not, from him shall be 
taken even that which he hath. 
MATT. I 3. 24. Another par- 
able put he forth unto them, 
sayingjThe kingdom of heaven 
is likened unto a man which 
sowed good seed in his field: 

25. But while men slept, his 
enemy came and sowed tares 
among the wheat, and went 
his way. 

26. But when the bl?^de was 
sprung up, and brought forth 
fruit, then appeared the tares 
also. 

27. So the servants of the 
householder came and said un- 
to him, Sir, didst not thou 
sow good seed in thy field? 



from whence then hath it tares ? 

28. He said unto them. An 
enemy hath done this. The 
servants said unto him, Wilt 
thou then that we go and 
gather them up? 

29. But he said, iS'ay ; lest 
while ye gather up the tares, 
ye root up also the wheat with 
them. 

30. Let both grow together 
until the harvest : and in the 
time of harvest I will say to 
the reapers, Gather ye together 
first the tares, and bind them 
in bundles to burn them : but 
gather the wheat into mv barn. 
MARK 4. 26. And he said. 
So is the kingdom of God, as 
if a man should cast seed into 
the ground; 

27. And should sleep, and 
rise night and day, and the 
seed should spring and grow 
up, he knoweth not how. 

28. For the earth bringeth 
forth fruit of herself; first the 
blade, then the ear, after that 
the full corn in the ear. 

29. But when the fruit is 
brought forth, immediately he 
putteth in the sickle, because 
the harvest is come. 
MATT. 13. 31. Another par- 
able pot he forth unto them, 
saying, The kingdom of heaven 
is like to a grain of mustard 
seed, which a man took, and 
sowed in his field : 

32. Which indeed is the least 
of all seeds: but when it is 
grown, it is the greatest among 
herbs, and becometh a tree, so 
that the birds of the air come 
and lodge in the branches 
thereof. 

33. Another parable spake 



55 



he unto them; The kingdom 
of heaven is like unto leaven, 
which a woman took, and hid 
in three measures of meal, till 
the whole was leavened. 
MATT. I 3. 34. All these 
things spake Jesus unto the 
multitude in parables ; and 
without a parable spake he not 
unto them : * 

35. That it might be fulfilled 
which was spoken by the 
prophet, saying, I will open 
my mouth in parables ; I will 
utter things which have been 
kept secret from the founda- 
tion of the world. 

36. Then Jesus sent the 
multitude away, and went into 
the house : and his disciples 
came unto him, saying, De- 
clare unto us the parable of 
the tares of the field. 

37. He answered and said 
unto them, He that soweth 
the good seed is the Son of 
man ; 

38. The field is the world ; 
the good seed are the children 
of the kingdom ; but the tares 
are the children of the wicked 
one ; 

39. The enemy that sowed 
them is the devil; the har- 
vest is the end of the world ; 
and the reapers are the angels. 

40. As therefore the tares 
are gathered and burned in 
the fire ; so shall it be in the 
end of this world, 

41. The Son of man shall 
send forth his angels, and they 
shall gather out of his king- 
dom all things that offend, 
and them which do iniquity ; 

42. And shall cast them 
into a furnace of fire : there 



shall be wailing and gnashing 
of teeth. 

43. Then shall the right- 
eous shine forth as the sun in 
the kingdom of their Father. 
Who hath ears to hear, let him 
hear. 

44. Again, the kingdom of 
heaven is like unto treasure 
hid in a field ; the which when 
a man hath found, he hideth, 
and for joy thereof goeth and 
selleth all that he hath, and 
buyeth that field. 

45. Again, the kingdom of 
heaven is like unto a mer- 
chant man, seeking goodly 
pearls : 

46. Who, when he had 
found one pearl of great price, 
went and sold all that he had, 
and bought it. 

47. Again, the kingdom of 
heaven is like a net, that was 
cast into the sea, and gath- 
ered of every kind : 

48 . Which, when it was full, 
they drew to shore, and sat 
down, and gathered the good 
into vessels, but cast the bad 
away. 

49. So shall it be at the end 
of the world : the angels shall 
come forth, and sever the 
wicked from among the just, 

50. And shall cast them 
into the furnace of fire : there 
shall be wailing and gnashing 
of teeth. 

51. Jesus saith unto them, 
Have ye understood all these 
things? They say unto him, 
Yea, Lord. 

52. Then said he unto them, 
Therefore every scribe which 
is instructed unto the king- 
dom of heaven is like unto a 



56 



man that is an householder, 
which bringeth forth out of 
his treasure things new and 
old. 

MATT. 13. 53. And it came 
to pass, that when Jesus had 
finished these parables, he de- 
parted thence. 

LUKE 9. 6. And they de- 
parted, and went through the 
towns, preaching the gospel, 
MARK 6. 12. That men 
should repent. 

13. And they cast out many 
devils, and anointed with oil 
many that were sick, and heal- 
ed them. 

MATT. I 3. 54. And when 
he was come into his own 
country, he taught them in 
their synagogue, insomuch 
that they were astonished, and 
said. Whence hath this man 
this wisdom, and these mighty 
works ? 

MARK 6. 2. And what wis- 
dom is this which is given 
unto him, 

MATT. I 3. 55. Is not this 
the carpenter's son? is not his 
mother called Mary? and his 
brethren, James, and Joses, 
and Simon, and Judas? 

56. And his sisters, are they 
not all with us? Whence 
then hath this man all these 
things ? 

57. And they were offended 
in him. But Jesus said unto 
them, A prophet is not with- 
out honour, save in his own 
country, and in his own house. 

SECTION 26. 

MARK 6. 5. And he could 
there do no mighty work, save 



that he laid his hands upon a 
few sick folk, and healed 
them. 

6. And he marvelled be- 
cause of their unbelief. And 
he went round about the vil- 
lages, teaching. 

14. And king Herod heard 
of him; (for his name was 
spread abroad:) and he said. 
That John the Baptist was 
risen from the dead, and 
therefore mighty works do 
shew forth themselves in him. 
LUKE 9. 9. And he desired 
to see him. 

MARK 6. 15. Others said, 
That it is Elias. And others 
said, That it is a prophet, or as 
one of the prophets. 

16. But when Herod heard 
thereof, he said, It is John, 
whom I beheaded : he is risen 
from the dead. 

17. For Herod himself had 
sent forth and laid hold upon 
John, and bound him in pris- 
on for Herodias' sake, his 
brother Philip's wife: for he 
had married her. 

18. For John had said unto 
Herod, Ic is not lawful for 
thee to have thy brother's 
wife. 

19. Therefore Herodias had 
a quarrel against him, and 
would have killed him; but 
she could not : 

20. For Herod feared John, 
knowing that he was a just 
man and an holy, and observed 
him ; and when he heard him, 
he did many things, and heard 
him gladly. 

21. And when a convenient 
day was come, that Herod on 
his birthday made a supper to

his lords, high captains, and 
chief estates of Galilee; 
MARKS. 22. And when the 
daughter of the said Herodias 
came in, and danced, and 
pleased Herod and them that 
sat with him, the king said 
unto the damsel, Ask of me 
whatsoever thou wilt, and I 
will give it thee. 

23. And he sware unto her, 
Whatsoever thou shalt ask of 
me, I will give it thee, unto 
the half of my kingdom. 

24. And she went forth, and 
said unto her mother. What 
shall I ask? And she said. 
The head of John the Bap- 
tist. 

25. And she came in straight- 
way with haste unto the king, 
and asked, saying, I w^ill that 
thou give me by and by in a 
charger the head of John the 
Baptist. 

26. And the king was ex- 
ceeding sorry ; yet for his 
oath's sake, and for their 
sakes which sat with him, he 
would not reject her. 

27. And immediately the 
king sent an executioner, and 
commanded his head to be 
brought: and he went and be- 
headed him in the prison, 

28. And brought his head 
in a charger, and gave it to the 
damsel: and the damsel gave 
it to her mother. 

29. And when his disciples 
heard of it, they came and 
took up his corpse, and laid it 
in a tomb. 

30. And the apostles gath- 
ered themselves together unto 
Jesus, and told him all things, 



both what they had done, and 
what they had taught. 

31. And he said unto them. 
Come ye yourselves apart into 
a desert place, and rest a while: 
for there were many coming 
and going, and they had no 
leisure so much as to eat. 

32, And they departed into 
a desert place by ship private-

and saith unto them, Be of 
good cheer: it is I; be not 
afraid.

MATT. 14. 28. And Peter 
answered him and said. Lord, 
if it be thou, bid me come un-

29. And he said, Come. And 
when Peter was come down 
out of the ship, he walked on 
the water, to go to Jesus. 

30. But when he saw the 
wind boisterous, he was afraid; 
and beginning to sink, he 
cried, saying. Lord, save me. 

31. And immediately Jesus 
stretched forth his hand, and 
caught him, and said unto 
him, O thou of little faith, 
wherefore didst thou doubt? 

32. And when they were 
come into the ship, the wind 
ceased. 

33. Then they that were in 
the ship came and worshipped 
him, saying, Of a truth thou 
art the Son of God. 
MARK 6. 53. And when they 
had passed over, they came into 



the land of Gennesaret, and 
drew to the shore. 

54. And when they were 
come out of the ship, straight- 
way they knew him, 

55. And ran through that 
whole region round about, and 
began to carry about in beds 
those that were sick, where 
they heard he was. 

56. And whithersoever he 
entered, into villages, or cities, 
or country, they laid the sick 
in the streets, and besought 
him that they might touch if 
it were but the border of his 
garment : and as many as 
touched him were made whole. 

SECTION 28. 

JOHN 6. 22. The day fol- 
lowing, when the people which 
stood on the other side of the 
sea saw that there was none 
other boat there, save that one 
whereinto his disciples were 
entered, and that Jesus went 
not with his disciples into the 
boat, but that his disciples 
were gone away alone ; 

23. (Howbeit there came 
other boats from Tiberias nigh 
unto the place where they did 
eat bread, after that the Lord 
had given thanks :) 

24. When the people there- 
fore saw that Jesus was not 
there,neitherhis disciples, they 
also took shipping, and came 
to Capernaum, seeking for 
Jesus. 

25. And when they had 
found him on the other side 
of the sea, they said unto him, 
Kabbi,whencamest thou hith- 
er? 



60 



JOHN 6. 26. Jesus answer- 
ed them, and said, Verily, veri- 
ly, I say unto you, Ye seek me, 
not because ye saw the mira- 
cles, but because ye did eat of 
the loaves, and were filled. 

27. Labour not for the meat 
which perisheth, but for that 
meat which endureth unto ev- 
erlasting life, which the Son of 
man shall give unto you ; for 
him hath God the Father 
sealed. 

28. Then said they unto 
him, What shall we do, that 
we might work the works of 
God? 

29. Jesus answered and said 
unto them. This is the work of 
God, that ye believe on him 
whom he hath sent. 

30. They said therefore unto 
him, What sign shewest thou 
then, that we way see, and be- 
lieve thee? what dost thou 
work ? 

31. Our fathers did eat 
manna in the desert; as it is 
written, He gave them bread 
from heaven to eat. 

32. Then Jesus said unto 
them. Verily, verily, I say unto 
you, Moses gave you not that 
bread from heaven; but my 
Father giveth you the true 
bread from heaven. 

33. For the bread of God is 
he which cometh down from 
heaven, and giveth life unto 
the world. 

34. Then said they unto 
him, Lord, evermore give us 
this bread. 

35. And Jesus said unto 
them, I am the bread of life : he 
that cometh to me shall never 
hunger; and he that believ- 



eth on me shall never thirst. 

36. But I say unto you. That 
ye also have seen me, and be- 
lieve not. ' 

37. AllthattheFathergiveth 
me shall come to me ; and him 
that cometh to me I will in no 
wise cast out. 

38. For I came down from i 
heaven, not to do mine own 
will, but the will of him that 
sent me. 

39. And this is the Father's 
will which hath sent me, that 
of all which he hath given me 
I should lose nothing, but 
should raise it up again at the 
last day. , 

40. And this is the will of 
him that sent me, that every 
one which seeth the Son, and 
believeth on him, may have 
everlasting life: and I will 
raise him up at the last day. 

41. The Jews then murmur- ' 
ed at him, because he said, I | 
am the bread which came 
down from heaven. 

42. And they said, Is not 
this Jesus, the son of Joseph, 
whose father and mother we 
know? how is it then that he , 
saith,I came down from heav- > 
en? \ 

43. Jesus therefore answer- I 
ed and said unto them, Mur- 
mur not among yourselves. 

44. No man can come to me, 
except the Father which hath 
sent me draw him : and I will 
raise him up at the last day. I 

45. It is written in the | 
prophets. And they shall be 
taught of God. Every man 
therefore that hath heard, and 
hath learned of the Father, ' 
cometh unto me. 



61 



JOHN 6. 46. Not that any 
man hath seen the Father, 
save he which is of God, he 
hath seen the Father. 

47. Verilv, verily, I say unto 
you. He that believeth on me 
hath everlasting life. 

48. I am that bread of life. 

49. Your fathers did eat 
manna in the wilderness, and 
are dead. 

50. This is the bread which 
Cometh down from heaven, 
that a man may eat thereof, 
and not die. 

51. I am the living bread 
which came down from heav- 
en: if any man eat of this 
bread, he shall live forever: 
and the bread that I will give 
is my flesh, which I will give 
for the life of the world. 

52. The Jews therefore strove 
among themselves, saying, How 
can this man give us his flesh 
to eat? 

53. Then Jesus said unto 
them, Verily, verily, I say unto 
you, except ye eat the flesh of 
the Son of man, and drink his 
blood, ye have no life in you. 

54. Whoso eateth my flesh, 
and drinketh my blood, hath 
eternal life; and I will raise 
him up at the last day. 

55. For my flesh is meat 
indeed, and my blood is drink 
indeed. 

56. He that eateth my flesh, 
and drinketh my blood, dwell- 
eth in me, and I in him. 

57. As the living Father 
hath sent me, and I live by 
the Father : so he that eateth 
Bae, even he shall live by me. 

58. This is that bread which 
came down from heaven : not 



as your fathers did eat manna, 
and are dead : he that eateth 
of this bread shall live for- 
ever. 

59. These things said he in 
the synagogue, as he taught in 
Capernaum. 

60. Many therefore of his 
disciples, when they had heard 
this, said, This is an hard say- 
ing ; who can hear it ? 

61. When Jesus knew in 
himself that his disciples mur- 
mured at it, he said unto 
them, Doth this offend you ? 

62. What and if ye shall 
see the Son of man ascend up 
where he was before? 

63. It is the spirit that 
quickeneth ; the flesh profit- 
eth nothing : the words that I 
speak unto you, they are spir- 
it, and they are life. 

64. But there are some of 
you that believe not. For 
Jesus knew from the begin- 
ning who they were that be- 
lieved not, and who should 
betray him. 

65. And he said. Therefore 
said I unto you, that no man 
can come unto me, except ii 
were given unto him of my 
Father. 

66. From that time many 
of his disciples went back, 
and walked no more with him. 

67. Then said Jesus unto 
the twelve, Will ye also go 
away ? 

68. Then Simon Peter an- 
swered him. Lord, to whom 
shall we go ? thou hast the 
words of eternal life. 

69. And we believe and are 
sure that thou art that Christ, 
the Sou of the living God, 



62 



JOHN 6. 70. Jesus answer- 
ed them, Have not I chosen 
you twelve, and one of you is 
a devil ? 

71. He spake of Judas Is- 
cariot the son of Simon : for 
he it was that should betray 
him, being one of the twelve. 

SECTION 29. 

JOHN 7. 1. After these 
things Jesus walked in Gali- 
lee : for he would not walk in 
Jewry, because the Jews 
sought to kill him. 
MARK 7. 1. Then came to- 
gether unto him the Pharisees, 
and certain of the scribes, 
which came from Jerusalem. 

2. And when they saw some 
of his disciples eat bread with 
defiled, that is to say, with un- 
washen hands, they found 
fault. 

3. For the Pharisees, and all 
the Jews, except they wash 
their hands oft, eat not, hold- 
ing the tradition of the elders. 

4. And when they come 
from the market, except they 
wash, they eat not. And many 
other things there be, which 
they have received to hold, as 
the washing of cups, and pots, 
brazen vessels, and of tables. 

5. Then the Pharisees and 
scribes asked him, Why walk 
not thy disciples according to 
the tradition of the elders, 
but eat bread with unwashen 
hands? 

6. He answered and said 
unto them, Well hath Esaias 
prophesied of you hypocrites, 
as it is written, This people 
honoureth me with their lips, 



but their heart is far from me. 

7. How belt in vain do they 
worship me, teaching for doc- 
trines the commandments of 
men. 

8. For laying aside the com- 
mandments of God, ye hold 
the tradition of men, as the 
washing of pots and cups : 
and many other such like 
things ye do. 

9. And he said unto them, 
Full well ye reject the com- 
mandment of God, that ye may 
keep your own tradition. 

10. For Moses said. Honour 
thy father and thy mother ; 
and, Whoso curseth father or 
mother, let him die the death : 

11. But ye say. If a man 
shall say to his father or 
mother. It is Corban, that is to 
say, a gift, by whatsoever thou 
mightest be profited by me ; 
he shall be free. 

12. And ye suffer him no 
more to do ought for his 
father or his mother ; 

13. Making the word of 
God of none effect through 
your tradition, which ye have 
delivered : and many such like 
things do ye. 

14. And when he had called 
all the people unto him, he 
said unto them, Hearken unto 
me every one of you, and un- 
derstand : 

15. There is nothing from 
without a man, that entering 
into him can defile him : but 
the things which come out of 
him, those are they that de- 
file the man. 

16. If any man hath ears to 
hear, let him h^ar. 



63 



MATT. 15. 12. Then came 
his disciples, and said unto 
him, Knowest thou that the 
Pharisees were offended, after 
they heard this saying? 

13. But he answered and 
said, Every plant, which my 
heavenly Father hath not 
planted, shall be rooted up. 

14. Let them alone : they 
be blind leaders of the blind. 
And if the blind lead the 
blind, both shall fall into the 
ditch. 

SECTION 30. 

MARK 7. 17. And when he 
was entered into the house 
from the people, 
MATT. I 5. 15. Then an- 
swered Peter and said unto 
him. Declare unto us this par- 
able. 

MARK 7. 18. Andhesaith 
unto them, Are ye so without 
understanding also ? Do ye 
not perceive, that whatsoever 
thing from without entereth 
into the man, it cannot defile 
him ; 

19. Because it entereth not 
into his heart, but into the 
belly, and goeth out into the 
draught, purging all meats ? 

20. And he said. That which 
cometh out of the man, that 
defileth the man. 

21. For from within, out of 
the heart of men, proceed 
evil thoughts, adulteries, for- 
nications, murders, 

22. Thefts, covetousness, 
wickedness, deceit, lascivious- 
ness, an evil eye, blasphemy, 
pride, foolishness ; 

^3. All these evil things 



come from within, and defile 
the man. 

24. And from thence he 
arose, and went into the bor- 
ders of Tyre and Sidon, and 
entered into an house, and 
would have no man know it : 
but he could not be hid, 

25. For a certain woman, 
whose young daughter had an 
unclean spirit, heard of him, 
and came and fell at his feet : 
MATT. I 5. 22. And cried 
unto him, saying, Have mercy 
on me, O Lord, thou Son of 
David ; my daughter is griev- 
ously vexed with a devil, 
MARK 7. 26. The woman 
was a Greek, a Syrophenician 
by nation ; and she besought 
him that he would cast forth 
the devil out of her daughter. 
MATT. I 5. 23. But he an- 
swered her not a word. And 
his disciples came and be- 
sought him, saying, Send her 
away ; for she crieth after us. 

24. But he answered and 
said, I am not sent but unto 
the lost sheep of the house of 
Israel. 

25. Then came she and 
worshipped him, saying, Lord, 
help me. 

MARK 7. 27. But Jesus said 
unto her. Let the children first 
be filled : for it is not meet to 
take the children's bread, and 
to cast it unto the dogs. 

28. And she answered and 
said unto him. Yes, Lord : yet 
the dogs under the table eat 
of the children's crumbs. 

29. And he said unto her, 
MATT. I 5. 28. O woman, 
great is thy faith : 



64 



MARK 7. 29. For this saying 
go thy way ; the devil is gone 
out of thy daughter. 

30. And when she was come 
to her house, she found the 
devil gone out, and her 
daughter laid upon the bed. 

31. And again, departing 
from the coasts of Tyre and 
Sidon, he came unto the sea of 
Galilee, through the midst of 
the coasts of Decapolis. 

32. And they bring unto 
him one that was deaf, and 
had an impediment in his 
speech ; and they beseech him 
to put his hand upon him. 

33. And he took him aside 
from the multitude, and put 
his fingers into his ears, and 
he spit, and touched his 
tongue ; 

34. And looking up to heav- 
en, he sighed, and saith unto 
him, Ephphatha, that is, Be 
opened. 

35. And straightway his 
ears were opened, and the 
string of his tongue was loosed, 
and he spake plain. 

36. And he charged them 
that they should tell no man : 
but the more he charged them, 
so much the more a great deal 
they published it: 

37. And were beyond meas- 
ure astonished, saying, He 
hath done all things well : he 
maketh both the deaf to hear, 
and the dumb to speak. 
MATT. 15. 30. And great 
multitudes came unto him, hav- 
ing with them those that were 
lame, blind, dumb,maimed, and 
many others, and cast them 
down at Jesus' feet; and he 
healed them : 



31. Insomuch that the mul- 
titude wondered, when they 
saw the dumb to speak, the 
maimed to be whole, the lame 
lo walk, and the blind to see: 
and they glorified the God of 
Israel. 

32. Then Jesus called his 
disciples unto him, and said, 
I have compassion on the mul- 
titude, because they continue 
with me now three days, and 
have nothing to eat : and I will 
not send them away fasting, 
lest they faint in the way. 
MARKS. 3. For divers of 
them came from far. 
MATT. 15. 33. And his dis- 

I ciples say unto him, Whence 
I should we have so much bread 
i in the wilderness, as to fill so 
i great a multitude? 
I 34. And Jesus saith unto 
them. How many loaves have 
ye? And they said, Seven, 
and a few little fishes. 

35. And he commanded the 
multitude to sit down on the 
ground. 

36. And he took the seven 
loaves and the fishes, and gave 
thanks, and brake them, and 
gave to his disciples, and the 
disciples to the multitude. 

37. And they did all eat, 
and were filled: and they took 
up of the broken meat that 
was left seven baskets full. 

38. And they that did eat 
were four thousand men, beside 
women and children. 

39. And he sent away the 
multitude, and took ship, and 
came into the coasts of Mag- 
dala. 



65 



SECTION 31. 

MATT. !6. 1. The Pharisees 
also with the Sadducees came, 
and tempting desired him that 
he would shew them a sign 
from heaven. 

2. He answered and said 
unto them, When it is evening, 
ye say, It will be fair weather: 
for the sky is red. 

3. And in the morning, It 
will be foul weather to day : 
for the sky is red and lowring. 
O ye hypocrites, ye can dis- 
cern the face of the sky; but 
can ye not discern ths signs of 
the times? 

MARKS. 12. And he sighed 
deeply in his spirit, and saith, 
MATT. I 6. 4. Awickedand 
adulterous generation seeketh 
after a sign ; and there shall no 
sign be given unto it, but the 
sign of the prophet J onas. And 
he left them, and departed. 

5. And when his disciples 
were come to the other side, 
they had forgotten to take 
bread 

MARK 8. 14. Neither had 
they in the ship with them 
more than one loaf. 
MATT. I 6. 6. Then Jesus 
said unto them. Take heed 
and beware of the leaven of 
the Pharisees and of the Sad- 
ducees. 

MARK 8. 15. And of Herod. 
MATT. 16. 7. And they rea- 
soned among themselves, say- 
iDg, It is because we have 
taken no bread. 

8. Which when Jesus per- 
ceived, he said unto them, O 
ye of little faith, why reason 
ye among yourselves, because 



ye have brought no bread ? 
MARK 8. 17. Perceive ye 
not yet, neither understand ? 
have ye your heart yet hard- 
ened ? 

18. Having eyes, see ye not? 
and having ears, hear ye not? 
and do ye not remember? 
MATT. 16. 9. Do ye not yet 
understand, neither remember 
the five loaves of the five 
thousand, and how many bas- 
kets ye took up ? 

10. Neither the seven loaves 
of the four thousand, and how 
many baskets ye took up ? 

11. How is it that ye do not 
understand that I spake it not 
to you concerning bread, that 
ye should beware of the leaven 
of the Pharisees and of the 
Sadducees? 

12. Then understood they 
how that he bade them not 
beware of the leaven of bread, 
but of the doctrine of the 
Pharisees and of the Saddu- 
cees. 

MARK 8. 22. And he com- 
eth to Bethsaida ; and they 
bring a blind man unto him, 
and besought him to touch 
him. 

23. And he took the blind 
man by the hand, and led him 
out of the town ; and when he 
had spit on his eyes, and put 
his hands upon him, he asked 
him if he saw ought. 

24. And he looked up, and 
said , I see men as trees, walk- 
ing. 

25. After that he put his 
hands again upon his eyes, 
and made him look up : and 
he was restored, and saw every 
man clearly. 



66 



MARKS. 26. And he sent 
him away to his house, saying, 
Neither go into the town, nor 
tell it to any in the town. 
MATT. 16. 13. When Jesus 
came into the coasts of Csesa- 
rea Phiiippi, he asked his 
disciples, saying. Whom do 
men say that I the Son of man 
am? 

14. And they said, Some say 
that thou art John the Baptist : 
some, Elias ; and others, Jere- 
mias, or one of the prophets. 

15. He saith unto them, 
But whom say ye that I am ? 

16. And Simon Peter an- 
swered and said. Thou art the 
Christ, the Son of the living 
God. 

17. And Jesus answered 
and said unto him, Blessed art 
thou, Simon Bar-jona : for 
flesh and blood hath not re- 
vealed it unto thee, but my 
Father which is in heaven. 

18. And I say also unto 
thee. That thou art Peter, and 
upon this rock I will build my 
church ; and the gates of hell 
shall not prevail against it. 

19. And I will give unto 
thee the keys of the kingdom 
of heaven : and whatsoever 
thou shalt bind on earth shall 
be bound in heaven : and 
whatsoever thou shalt loose 
on earth shall be loosed in 
heaven. 

20. Then charged he his 
disciples that they should tell 
no man that he was Jesus the 
Christ. 

21. From that time forth 
began Jesus to shew unto his 
disciples, how that he must 
go unto Jerusalem, and suffer 



many things of the elders and 
chief priests and scribes, and 
be killed, and be raised again 
the third day. 

22. Then Peter took him, 
and began to rebuke him, say- 
ing, Be it far from thee, Lord: 
this shall not be unto thee. 

23. But he turned, and said 
unto Peter, Get thee behind 
me, Satan : thou art an offence 
unto me : for thou savourest 
not the things that be of God, 
but those that be of men. 

24. Then said Jesus unto 
his disciples. If any man will 
come after me, let him deny 
himself, and take up his cross, 
and follow me. 

25. For whosoever will save 
his life shall lose it : and who- 
soever will lose his life for my 
sake shall find it' 

26. For what is a man prof- 
ited, if he shall gain the whole 
world, and lose his own soul ? 
or what shall a man give in 
exchange for his soul? 

27. For the Son of man 
shall come in the glory of his 
Father with his angels; and 
then he shall reward every 
man according to his works. 

28. Verily I say unto you. 
There be some standing here, 
which shall not taste of death, 
till they see the Son of man 
coming in his kingdom. 
MARK 8. 38. Whosoever 
therefore shall be ashamed of 
me and of my words in this 
adulterous and sinful genera- 
ation ; of him also shall the Son 
of man be ashamed, when he 
Cometh in the glory of his 
Father with the holy angels.

SECTION 32. 

MATT. 17. 1. And after six 
days, Jesus taketh Peter, 
James, and John his brother, 
and bringeth them up into an 
high mountain apart, 
LUKE 9. 28. To pray. 
MATT. 17. 2. And was 
transfigured before them : 
LUKE 9. 29. And as he 
prayed, the fashion of his coun- 
tenance was altered, 
MATT. 17. 2. Andhisface 
did shine as the sun, and his 
raiment was white as the light, 
MARK 9. 3. So as no fuller 
on earth can white them. 
MATT. I 7. 3. And, behold, 
there appeared unto them 
Moses and Ellas talking with 
him. 

LUKE 9. 31. Who appeared 
in glory, and spake of his de- 
cease which he should accom- 
plish at Jerusalem. 

32. But Peter and they that 
were with him were heavy 
with sleep: and when they 
were awake, they saw his 
glory, and the two men that 
stood with him. 
MATT. !7. 4. Then an- 
swered Peter, and said unto 
Jesus, Lord, it is good for us 
to be here: if thou wilt, let us 
make here three tabernacles; 
one for thee, and one for Moses, 
and one for Elias. 
MARK 9. 6. Forhewistnot 
what to say ; for they were 
sore afraid. 

MATT, I 7. 5. While he yet 
spake, behold, a bright cloud 
overshadowed them: and be- 
hold a voice out of the cloud, 



which said. This is my beloved 
Son, in whom I am well pleas- 
ed ; hear ye him. 

6. And when the disciples 
heard it, they fell on their 
face, and were sore afraid. 

7. And Jesus came and 
touched them, and said, Arise, 
and be not afraid. 

8. And w^hen they had lifted 
up their eyes, they sav/ no 
man, save Jesus only. 

9. And as they came down 
from the mountain, Jesus 
charged them, saying, Tell the 
vision to no man, until the 
Son of man be risen again 
from the dead. 

MARK 9. 10. And they kept 
that saying with themselves, 
questioning one with another 
what the rising from the dead 
should mean, 

MATT. I 7. 10. And his 

disciples asked him, saying,. 
Why then say the scribes that 
Ellas must first come? 

11. And Jesus answered and 
said unto them,Elias truly shall 
first come, and restore ail 
things. 

12. But I say unto you. That 
Elias is come already, and they 
knew him not, but have done 
unto him whatsoever they 
listed. Likewise shall also the 
Son of man suffer of them. 

13. Then the disciples un- 
derstood that he spake unto 
thera of John the Baptist. 
LUKE 9. 37. And it came 
to pass, that on the next day, 
when they were come down 
from the hill, 

MARK 9. 14. And when[.he 
came to his disciples, he saw 
a great multitude about them, 



and the scribes questioning 
with them. 

MARK 9. 15. And straight- 
way all the people, when they 
beheld him, were greatly amaz- 
ed, and running to him saluted 
him. 

16. And he asked the scribes, 
What question ye with them? 

17. And one of the multi- 
tude answered and said. Mas- 
ter, I have brought unto thee 
my son, 

LUKE 9. 38. For he is mine 
only child, 

r/iARK 9. 17. Which hath a 
dumb spirit ; 

MATT. 1 7. 15. He is lu- 

natick.and sore vexed : for oft- 
times he falleth into the fire, 
and oft into the water. 
MARK 9. 18. And whereso- 
ever he taketh him, he teareth 
him: and he foameth, and 
gnash eth with his teeth, and 
pineth away : and I spake to 
thy disciples that they should 
cast him out ; and they could 
not. 

19. He answereth him, and 
saith, O faithless generation, 
how long shall I be with you? 
how long shall I suffer you? 
bring him unto me. 

20. And they brought him 
unto him: and when he saw 
him, straightway the spirit 
tare him; and he fell on the 
ground, and wallowed foam- 
ing. 

21. And he asked his father. 
How long is it ago since this 
came unto him? And he said, 
Of a child. 

22. And ofttimes it hath 
cast him into the fire, and into 
the waters, to destroy him : but 



if thou canst do any thing, 
have compassion on us, and 
help us. 

23. Jesus said unto him, If 
thou canst believe, all things 
are possible to him that be- 
lie veth. 

24. And straightway the 
father of the child cried out, 
and said with tears. Lord, I 
believe ; help thou mine unbe- 
lief. 

25. When Jesus saw that 
the people came running to- 
gether, h"^ rebuked the foul 
spirit, saying uuto him, Thou 
dumb and deaf spirit, I charge 
thee, come out of him, and en- 
ter no more into him. 

26. And the spirit cried, and 
rent him sore, and came out of 
him: and he was as one dead : 
insomuch that many said, He 
is dead. 

27. But Jesus took him by 
the hand, and lifted him up; 
and he arose. 

MATT. 17. 18. And Jesus 
rebuked the devil ; and he de- 
parted out of him : and the 
child was cured from that 
very hour. 

MARK 9. 28. And when he 
was come into the house, his 
disciples asked him privately, 
Why could not we cast him 
out? 

MATT. I 7. 20. And Jesus 
said unto them, Because of 
your unbelief : for verily I say 
unto you. If ye have faith as 
a grain of mustard seed, ye 
shall say unto this mountain. 
Remove hence to yonder place ; 
and it shall remove ; and noth- 
ing shall be impossible unto 
you. 



69 



MARK 9. 29. And lie said 
unto them, This kind can come 
forth by nothing, but by prayer 
and fasting. 

30. And they departed 
thence, and passed through 
Galilee; and he would not 
that any man should know it. 

31. For he taught his dis- 
ciples, and said unto them, 
LUKE 9. 44. Let these say- 
ings sink down into your ears: 
MARK 9. 31. The Son of 
man is delivered into the 
hands of men, and they shall 
kill him; and after that he is 
killed, he shall rise the third 
day. 

32. But they understood not 
that saying, and were afraid to 
ask him. 

MATT. S7. 23. And they 
were exceeding sorry. 

24. And when they were 
come to Capernaum, they that 
received tribute money came 
to Peter, and said, Doth not 
your master pay tribute? 

25. He saith,Yes. And when 
he was come into the house, 
Jesus prevented him, saying, 
What thinkest thou, Simon? 
of whom do the kings of the 
earth take custom or tribute? 
of their own children, or of 
strangers? 

26. Peter saith unto him, 
Of strangers. Jesus saith unto 
him, Then are the children 
free, 

27. Notwithstanding, lest 
we should offend them, go thou 
to the sea, and cast an hook, 
and take up the fish that first 
Cometh up; and when thou 
hast opened his mouth, thou 



shalt find a piece of money : 
that take, and give unto them 
for me and thee. 

SECTION 33. 

JOHN 7. 2. Now the Jews' 
feast of tabernacles was at 
hand. 

3. His brethren therefore 
said unto him, Depart hence, 
and go into Judaea, that thy 
disciples also may see the 
works that thou doest. 

4. For there is no man that 
doeth any thing in secret, and 
he himself seeketh to be known 
openly. If thou do these 
things, shew thyself to the 
world. 

5. For neither did his breth- 
ren believe in him. 

6. Then Jesus said unto 
them. My time is not yet come : 
but your time is alway ready. 

7. The world cannot hate 
you ; but me it hateth, because 
I testify of it, that the works 
thereof are evil. 

8. Go ye up unto this feast: 
I go not up yet unto this feast; 
for my time is not yet full 
come. 

9. When he had said these 
words unto them, he abode 
still in Galilee. 

10. But when his brethren 
were gone up, then went he 
also up unto the feast, not 
openly, but as it were in secret. 

11. Then the Jews sought 
him at the feast, and said, 
Where is he? 

12. And there was much 
murmuring among the people 

^ concerning him: for some said, 



70 



He is a good man : others said, 
Nay; but he deceiveth the 
people. 

JOHN 7. 13. Howbeit no 
man spake openly of him for 
fear of the Jews. 

14. Now about the midst of 
the feast Jesus went up into 
the temple, and taught. 

15. And the Jews marvelled, 
saying. How knoweth this man 
letters, having never learned? 

16. Jesus answered them, 
and said. My doctrine is not 
mine, but his that sent me. 

17. If any man will do his 
will, he shall know of the doc- 
trine, whether it be of God, or 
whether I speak of myself. 

18. He that speaketh of him- 
self seeketh his own glory : 
but he that seeketh his glory 
that sent him, the same is true, 
and no unrighteousness is in 
him. 

19. Did not Moses give you 
the law, and yet none of you 
keepeth the law ? Why go ye 
about to kill me? 

20. The people answered 
and said. Thou hast a devil : 
who goeth about to kill theej? 

21. Jesus answered and said 
unto them, I have done one 
work, and ye all marvel. 

22. Moses therefore gave 
unto you circumcision; (not 
because it is of Moses, but of 
the fathers;) and ye on the 
sabbath day circumcise a man. 

23. If a man on the sabbath 
day receive circumcision, that 
the law of Moses should not be 
broken; are ye angry at me, 
because I have made a man 
every whit whole on the sab- 
bath day? 



24. Judge not according to 
the appearance, but judge 
righteous judgment. 

25. Then said some of them 
of Jerusalem, Is not this he, 
whom they seek to kill ? 

26. But, lo, he speaketh bold- 
ly, and they say nothing unto 
him. Do the rulers know in- 
deed that this is the very 
Christ? 

27. Howbeit we know this 
man whence he is : but when 
Christ cometh, no man know- 
eth whence he is. 

28. Then cried Jesus in the 
temple as he taught, saying, 
Ye both know me, and ye 
know whence I am: and I am 
not come of myself, but he 
that sent me is true, whom ye 
know not. 

29. But I know him: for I 
am from him, and he hath 
sent me. 

30. Then they sought to take 
him : but no man laid hands 
on him, because his hour was 
was not yet come. 

31. And many of the people 
believed on him, and said, 
When Christ cometh, will he 
do more miracles than these 
which this man hath done? 

32. The Pharisees heard that 
the people murmured such 
things concerning him; and 
the Pharisees and the chief 
priests sent officers to take 
him. 

33. Then said Jesus unto 
them. Yet a little while am I 
with you, and then I go unto 
him that sent me. 

34. Ye shall seek me, and 
shall not find me : and where 
I am, thither ye cannot come. 



71 



JOHN 7. 35. Then said the 
Jews among themselves, 
Whither will he go, that we 
shall not find him ? will he go 
unto the dispersed among the 
Gentiles, and teach the Gen- 
tiles ? 

36. What manner of saying 
is this that he said, Ye shall 
seek me, and shall not find me : 
and where I am, thither ye can- 
not come? 

37. In the last day, that 
great day of the feast, Jesus 
stood and cried, saying. If any 
man thirst, let him come unto 
me, and drink. 

38. He that believeth on me, 
as the scripture hath said, out 
of his belly shall flow rivers of 
living water. 

39. (But this spake he of the 
Spirit, which they that believe 
on him should receive : for the 
Holy Ghost was not yet given ; 
because that Jesus was not yet 
glorified. ) 

40. Many of the people 
therefore, when they heard 
this saying, said, Of a truth 
this is the Prophet. 

41'. Others said, This is the 
Christ. But some said, Shall 
Christ come out of Galilee? 

42. Hath not the scripture 
said, That Christ cometh of the 
seed of David, and out of the 
town of Bethlehem, where 
David was? 

43. So there was a division 
among the people because of 
him. 

44 And some of them would 
have taken him; but no man 
laid hands on him. 

45. Then came the officers 
to the chief priests and Phari- 



sees ; and they said unto them, 
Why have ye not brought 
him? 

46. The officers answered, 
^ever man spake like this 
man. 

47. Then answreed them 
the Pharisees, Are 3^e also de- 
ceived? 

48. Have any of the rulers 
or of the Pharisees believed 
on him? 

49. But this people who 
knoweth not the law are cursed. 

50. Nicodemus saith unto 
them, (he that came to Jesus 
by night, being one of them,) 

51. Doth our law judge any 
man, before it hear him, and 
know what he doeth ? 

52. They answered and said 
unto him, Art thou also of 
Galilee? Search, and look : 
for out of Galilee ariseth no 
prophet. 

53. And every man went 
unto his own house. 

SECTION 34. 

JOHNS. 1. Jesus went unto 
the mount of Olives. 

2. And early in the morning 
he came again into the temple, 
and all the people came unto 
him; and he sat down, and 
taught them. 

3. And the scribes and 
Pharisees brought unto him a 
woman taken in adultery ; and 
when they had set her in the 
midst, 

4. They say unto him. Mas- 
ter, this woman was taken in 
adultery, in the very act. 

5. Now Moses in the law 
commanded us, that such 



72 



should be stoned: but what 
say est thou? 

J O H N 8. 6. This they said, 
tempting him, that they might 
have to accuse him. But Jesus 
stooped down, and with his 
finger wrote on the ground, as 
though he heard them not. 

7. So when they continued 
asking him, he lifted up him- 
self, and said unto them, He 
that is without sin among you, 
let him first cast a stone at her. 

8. And again he stooped 
down, and wrote on the ground. 

9. And they which heard it, 
being convicted by their own 
conscience, went out one by 
one, beginning at the eldest, 
even unto the last: and Jesus 
was left alone, and the woman 
standing in the midst. 

10. When Jesus had lifted 
up himself, and saw none 
but the woman, he said unto 
her, Woman, where are those 
thine accusers? hath no man 
condemned thee? 

11. She said, No man, Lord. 
And Jesus said unto her, 
Neither do I condemn thee: 
go, and sin no more. 

12. Then spake Jesus again 
unto them, saying, I am the 
light of the world: he that 
f olloweth me shall not walk in 
darkness, but shall have the 
light of life. 

13. The Pharisees therefore 
said unto him, Thou bearest 
record of thyself ; thy record 
is not true. 

14. Jesus answered and said 
unto them, Though I bear rec- 
ord of myself, yet my record 
is true : for I know whence I 



came, and whither I go; but 
ye cannot tell whence I come, 
and whither I go. 

15. Ye judge after the flesh ; 
I judge no man. 

16. And yet if I judge, my 
judgment is true : for I am not 
alone, but I and the Father 
that sent me. 

17. It is also written in your 
law, that the testimony of two 
men is true. 

18. I am one that bear wit- 
ness of myself, and the Father 
that sent me beareth witness 
of me. 

19. Then said they unto 
him. Where is thy Father? 
Jesus answered. Ye neither 
know me, nor my Father : if ye 
had known me, ye should have 
known my Father also, 

20. These words spake Jesus 
in the treasury, as he taught 
in the temple: and no man 
laid hands on him ; for his 
hour was not yet come. 

21. Then said Jesus again 
unto them, I go my way, and 
ye shall seek me, and shall die 
in your sins : whither I go, ye 
cannot come. 

22. Then said the Jews, Will 
he kill himself? because he 
saith. Whither I go, ye cannot 
come. 

23. And he said unto them. 
Ye are from beneath ; I am 
from above: ye are of this 
world ; I am not of this Avorld. 

24. I said therefore unto you, 
that ye shall die in your sins : 
for if ye believe not that I am 
he, ye shall die in your sins. 

25. Then said they unto him. 
Who art thou? And Jesus saith 
unto them, Even the same that 



73 



I said unto you from the begin- 
ning. 

JOHNS. 26. Ihavemanj 
things to say and to judge of 
you : but he that sent me is 
true ; and I speak to the world 
those things which I have 
heard of him. 

27. They understood not 
that he spake to them of the 
Father. 

28. Then said Jesus unto 
them, When ye have lifted up 
the Son of man, then shall ye 
knoAV that I am he, and that I 
do nothing of myself; but as 
my Father hath taught me, I 
speak these things. 

29. And he that sent me is 
with me: the Father hath not 
left me alone ; for I do always 
those things that please him. 

30. As he spake these words, 
many believed on him. 

31. Then said Jesus to those 
Jews which believed on him. 
If ye continue in my word, 
then are ye my disciples in- 
deed ; 

32. And ye shall know the 
truth, and the truth shall make 
you free. 

33. They answered him, We 
be Abraham's seed, and were 
never in bondage to any man : 
how sayest thou. Ye shall be 
made free? 

34. Jesus answered them. 
Verily, verily, I say unto you, 
Whosoever committeth sin is 
the servant of sin. 

35. And the servant abideth 
not in the house for ever : but 
the Son abideth ever. 

36. If the Son therefore shall 
make you free, ye shall be free 
indeed. 



37. I know that ye are Abra- 
ham's seed; but ye seek to kill 
me, because my word hath no 
place in you. 

38. I speak that which I 
have seen with my Father : 
and ye do that which ye have 
seen with your father. 

39. They answered and said 
unto him, Abraham is our 
father. Jesus saith unto them, 
If ye were Abraham's children, 
ye would do the works of 
Abraham. 

40. But now ye seek to kill 
me, a man that hath told you 
the truth, which I have heard 
of God : this did not Abraham. 

41. Ye do the deeds of your 
father. Then said they to him, 
We be not born of fornication ; 
we have one Father, even God. 

42. Jesus said unto them. If 
God were your Father, ye 
would love me: for I proceeded 
forth and came from God; 
neither came I of myself, but 
he sent me. 

43. Why do ye not under- 
stand my speech ? even because 
ye cannot hear my word. 

44. Ye are of your father the 
devil, and the lusts of your 
father ye will do. He was a 
murderer from the beginning, 
and abode not in the truth, be- 
cause there is no truth in him. 
When he speaketh a lie, he 
speaketh of his own : for he is 
a liar, and the father of it. 

45. And because I tell you 
the truth, ye believe me not. 

46. Which of you convinc- 
eth me of sin ? And if I say 
the truth, why do ye not be- 
lieve me? 



'4 



JOHN 8. 47. He that is of 
God heareth God's words : ye 
therefore hear them not, be- 
cause ye are not of God. 

48. Then answered the Jews, 
and said unto him, Say we not 
well that thou art a Samaritan, 
and hast a devil? 

49. Jesus answered, I have 
not a devil ; but I honour my 
Father, and ye do dishonour 
me. 

50. And I seek not mine own 
glory : there is one that seeketh 
and judgeth. 

51. Verily, verily, I say unto 
you. If a man keep my saying, 
he shall never see death. 

52. Then said the Jews unto 
him, Now we know that thou 
hast a devil. Abraham is dead, 
and the prophets; and thou 
sayest, If a man keep my say- 
ing, he shall never taste of 
death. 

53. Art thou greater than 
our father Abraham, which is 
dead? and the prophets are 
dead ; whom makest thou thy- 
self? 

54. Jesus answered. If I 
honour myself, my honour is 
nothing: it is my Father that 
honoureth me; of whom ye 
say, that he is your God : 

55. Yet ye have not known 
him ; but I know him : and if I 
should say, I know him not, I 
shall be a liar like unto you : 
but I know him, and keep his 
saying. 

56. Your father Abraham 
rejoiced to see my day: and 
he saw it, and was glad. 

57. Then said the J ews unto 
him. Thou art not yet fifty 



years old, and hast thou seen 
Abraham? 

58. Jesus said unto them. 
Verily, verily, I say unto you. 
Before Abraham was, I am. 

59. Then took they up stones 
to cast at him : but Jesus hid 
himself, and went out of the 
temple, going through the 
midst of them, and so passed by. 
JOHN 9. 1. And as Jesus 
passed by, he saAv a man which 
was blind from his birth. 

SECTION 35. 

JOHN 9. 2. And his dis- 
ciples asked him, saying, Mas- 
ter, who did sin, this man, or 
his parents, that he was born 
blind? 

3. Jesus answered, Neither 
hath this man sinned, nor his 
parents : but that the works of 
God should be made manifest 
in him. 

4. I must work the works of 
him that sent me, while it is 
day : the night cometh, when 
no man can work. 

5. As long as I am in the 
world, I am the light of the 
world. 

6. When he had thus spoken, 
he spat on the ground, and 
made clay of the spittle, and 
he anointed the eyes of the 
blind man with the clay , 

7. And said unto him. Go, 
wash in the pool of Siloam, 
(which is by interpretation, 
Sent.) He went his way there- 
fore, and washed, and came 
seeing. 

8. The neighbours therefore, 
and they which before had 
seen him that he was blind. 



75 



said, Is not this he that sat and 
begged ? 

JOHN 9. 9. Some said, This 
is he : others said, He is like 
him : but he said, I am he. 

] 0. Therefore said they unto 
him, How were thine eyes 
opened? 

11. He answered and said, 
A man that is called Jesus 
made clay, and anointed mine 
eyes, and said unto me, Go to 
the pool of Siloam, and wash : 
and I went and washed, and 
I received sight. 

12. Then said they unto him, 
Where is he ? He said, I know 
not. 

13. They brought to the 
Pharisees him that aforetime 
was blind. 

14. And it was the sabbath 
day when Jesus made the clay, 
and opened his eyes. 

15. Then again the Phari- 
sees also asked him how he 
had received his sight. He 
said unto them. He put clay 
upon mine eyes, and I washed, 
and do see. 

16. Therefore said some of 
the Pharisees, This. man is not 
of God, because he keepeth 
not the sabbath day. Others 
said. How can a man that is a 
sinner do such miracles? And 
there was a division among 
them. 

17. They say unto the blind 
man again, What sayest thou of 
him, that he hath opened thine 
eyes? He said, He is a prophet. 

18. But the Jews did not 
believe concerning him, that 
he had been blind, and receiv- 
ed his sight, until they called 



the parents of him that had 
received his sight, 

19. And they asked them, 
saying. Is this your son, who 
ye say was born blind? how 
then doth he now see? 

20. His parents answered 
them and said. We know that 
this is our son, and that he 
was born blind : 

21. But by what means he 
now seeth, we know not; or 
who hath opened his eyes, we 
know not : he is of age ; ask 
him : he shall speak for him- 
self. 

22. These words spake his 
parents, because they feared 
the Jews : for the Jews had 
agreed already, that if any 
man did confess that he was 
Christ, he should be put out of 
the synagogue. 

23. Therefore said his pa- 
rents. He is of age; ask him. 

24. Then again called they 
the man that was blind, and 
said unto him, Give God the 
praise : we know that this man 
is a sinner. 

25. He answered and said, 
Whether he be a sinner or no, 
I know not: one thing I know, 
that, whereas I was blind, now 
I see. 

26. Then said they to him 
again. What did he to thee? 
how opened he thine eyes ? 

27. He answered them, I 
have told you already, and ye 
did not hear: wherefore 
would ye hear it again? will 
ye also be his disciples? 

28. Then they reviled him, 
and said. Thou art his disciple ; 
but we are Moses' disciples. 

29. We know that God spake 



76 



unto Moses : as for this fellow, 
we know not from whence he is. 
JOHN 9. 30. Themanan- 
swered and said unto them, 
Why herein is a marvellous 
thing, that ye know not from 
whence he is, and yet he hath 
opened mine eyes. 

31. Now we know that God 
heareth not sinners : but if any 
man be a worshipper of God, 
and doeth his will, him he 
heareth. 

32. Since the world began 
was it not heard that any man 
opened the eyes of one that 
was born blind. 

33. If this man were not of 
God, he could do nothing. 

34. They answered and said 
unto him, Thou wast altogether 
born in sins, and dost thou 
teach us? And they cast him 
out. 

35. Jesus heard that they 
had cast him out; and when 
he had found him, he said unto 
him. Dost thou believe on the 
Son of God? 

36. He answered and said. 
Who is he. Lord, that I might 
believe on him? 

37. And Jesus said unto 
him, Thou hast both seen him, 
and it is he that talketh with 
thee. 

38. And he said, Lord, I 
believe. And he worshipped 
him. 

39. And Jesus said, For 
judgment I am come into this 
world, that they which see not 
might see ; and that they which 
see might be made blind. 

40. And some of the Phari- 
sees which were with him 
heard these words, and said 



unto him, Are we blind also? 

41. Jesus said unto them, If 
ye were blind, ye should have 
no sin: but now ye say, We 
see ; therefore your sin remain- 
eth. 

SECTION 36. 

I J O H N I 0. 1. Verily, verily, 
: I say unto you, He that enter- 
I eth not by the door into the 
sheepfold, but climbeth up 
some other way, the same is a 
thief and a robber. 

2. But he that enter eth in by 
the door is the shepherd of the 
sheep. 

3. To him the porter open- 
I eth ; and the sheep hear his 
I voice : and he calleth his own 

sheep by name, and leadeth 
them out. 

4. And when he putteth 
forth his own sheep, he goeth 
before them, and the sheep fol- 
low him : for they know his 
voice. 

5. And a stranger will they 
not follow, but will flee from 
him; for they know not the 
voice of strangers. 

6. This parable spake Jesus 
unto them: but they under- 
stood not what things they 
were which he spake unto 
them. 

7. Then said Jesus unto 
them again, Verily, verily, I say 
unto you, I am the door of the 
sheep. 

8. All that ever came before 
me are thieves and robbers: 
but the sheep did not hear 
them. 

9. I am the door: by me if 
any man enter in, he shall be 



77 



saved, and shall go in and out, 
and find pasture. 
JOHN 10. 10. The thief 
Cometh not, but for to steal, 
and to kill, and to destroy : I 
am come that they might have 
life, and that they might have 
it more abundantly : 

11. I am the good shepherd : 
the good shepherd giveth his 
life for the sheep. 

12. But he that is an hire- 
ling, and not the shepherd, 
Avhose own the sheep are not, 
seeth the wolf coming, and 
leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: 
and the wolf catcheth them, 
and scattereth the sheep. 

13. The hireling fleeth, be- 
cause he is an hireling, and 
careth not for the sheep. 

14. I am the good shepherd, 
and know my sheep, and am 
known of mine. 

15. As the Father knoweth 
me, even so know I the Father : 
and I lay down my life for the 
sheep. 

16. And other sheep I have, 
which are not of this fold : 
them also I must bring, and 
they shall hear my voice : and 
there shall be one fold, and 
one shepherd. 

17. Therefore doth my Fa- 
ther love me, because I lay 
down my life, that I might 
take it again. 

18. No man taketh it from 
me, but I lay it down of myself. 
I have power to lay it down, 
and I have power to take it 
again. This commandment 
have I received of my Father. 

39. There was a division 
therefore again among the 
J ews for these sayings. 



20. And many of them said, 
He hath a devil, and is mad ; 
why hear ye him ? 

21. Others said, These are 
not the words of him that hath 
a devil. Can a devil open the 
eyes of the blind ? 

MARK 9. 33. And he came 
to Capernaum: and being in 
the house he asked them, What 
was it that ye disputed among 
yourselves by the way? 

34. But they held their 
peace: for by the way they 
had disputed among them- 
selves, who should be the great- 
est. 

35. And he sat down, and 
called the twelve, and saith 
unto them, If any man desire 
to be first, the same shall be 
last of all, and servant of all. 

36. And he took a child, and 
set him in the midst of them : 
and when he had taken him in 
his arms, he said unto them, 

37. Whosoever shall receive 
one of such children in my 
name, receiveth me : and who- 
soever shall receive me, re- 
ceiveth not me, but him that 
sent me. 

MATT. I 8. 3. Verily I say 
unto you. Except ye be con- 
verted, and become as little 
children, ye shall not enter into 
the kingdom of heaven. 

4. Whosoever therefore shall 
humble himself as this little 
child, the same is greatest in 
the kingdom of heaven. 

5. And whoso shall receive 
one such little child in my 
name receiveth me. 

LUKE 9. 48. And whoso- 
ever shall receive me receiv- 
eth him that sent me : for he 



78 



that is least among jou all, the 
same shall be great. 
MARK 9. 38. And John an- 
swered him, saying, Master, we 
saw one casting out devils in 
thjname, and he followeth not 
us: and we forbad him, be- 
cause he followeth not us. 

39. But Jesus said. Forbid 
him not : for there is no man 
which shall do a miracle in 
my name, that can lightly speak 
evil of me. 

40. For he that is not against 
us is on our part. 

41. For Avhosoever shall give 
you a cup of water to drink in 
my name, because ye belong to 
Christ, verily I say unto you, 
he shall not lose his reward. 

42. And whosoever shall 
olfend one of these little ones 
that believe in me, it is better 
for him that a millstone were 
hanged about his neck, and he 
were cast into the sea. 
MATT. 18. 7. Woe unto the 
world because of offences ! for 
it must needs be that offences 
come ; but woe to that man by 
whom the offence cometh ! 
MARK 9. 43. And if thy 
hand offend thee, cut it off : 
it is better for thee to enter into 
life maimed, than having two 
hands to go into hell, into the 
fire that never shall be 
quenched : 

44. Where their worm dieth 
not, and the fire is not quench- 
ed. 

45. And if thy foot offend 
thee, cut it off: it is better for 
thee to enter halt into life, 
than having two feet to be cast 
into hell, into the fire that 
uever shall be quenched. 



46. Where their worm dieth 
not, and the fire is not quench- 
ed. 

47. And if thine eye off'end 
thee, pluck it out: it is better 
for thee to enter into the king- 
dom of God Avith one eye, than 
having two eyes to be cast into 
hell fire: 

48. Where their worm dieth 
not, and the fire is not quench- 
ed. 

49. For every one shall be 
salted with fire, and every sac- 
rifice shall be salted with salt. 

50. Salt is good : but if the 
salt have lost his saltness, 
wherewith will ye season it ? 
Have salt in yourselves, and 
have peace one with another. 

SECTION 37. 
MATT. 18. 10. Take heed 
that ye despise not one of these 
little ones ; for 1 say unto you. 
That in heaven their angels do 
always behold the face of my 
Father which is in heaven. 

11. For the Son of man is 
come to save that which was 
lost. 

12. How think ye? if a man 
have an hundred sheep, and 
one of them be gone astray, 
doth he not leave the ninety 
and nine, and goeth into the 
mountains, and seeketli that 
which is gone astray? 

13. And if so be that he find 
it, verily I say unto you, he 
rejoicetli more of that sheep, 
than of the ninety and nine 
that went not astray. 

14. Even so it is not the will 
of your Father which is in 
heaven, that one of these 
little ones should perish. 



79 



MATT. i8. 15. Moreover 
if thy brother shall trespass 
against thee, go and tell him 
his fault between thee and him 
alone : if he shall hear thee, 
thou hast gained thv brother. 

16. But if he will not hear 
thee, then take with thee one 
or two more, that in the mouth 
of two or three witnesses every 
word may be established. 

17. And if he shall neglect 
to hear them, tell it unto the 
church; but if he neglect to 
hear the church, let him be un- 
to thee as an heathen man and 
a publican. 

18. Verily I say unto you, 
Whatsoever ye shall bind on 
earth shall be bound in heav- 
en : and whatsoever ye shall 
loose on earth shall be loosed 
in heaven. 

19. Again I say unto you, 
That if two of you shall agree 
on earth as touching any thing 
that they shall ask, it shall be 
done for them of my Father 
which is in heaven. 

20. For where two or three 
are gathered together in my 
name, there am I in the midst 
of them. 

21. Then came Peter to him 
and said, Lord, how oft shall 
my brother sin against me, and 
I forgive him? till seven times? 

22. Jesus saith unto him, I 
say not unto thee. Until seven 
times: but, Until seventy times 
seven. 

23. Therefore is the king- 
dom of heaven likened unto a 
certain king, which would take 
account of his servants. 

24. And when he had begun 
to reckon, one was brought un- 



to him, which owed him ten 
thousand talents. 

25. But forasmuch as he had 
not to pay, his lord command- 
ed him to be sold, and his wife, 
and children, and all that he 
had, and payment to be made. 

26. The servant therefore 
fell down, and worshipped 
him, saying, Lord, have pa- 
tience with me, and I will pay 
thee all. 

27. Then the lord of that 
servant was moved with com- 
passion, and loosed him, and 
forgave him the debt. 

28. But the same servant 
went out, and found one of 
his f ellowservants, which owed 
him an hundred pence: and he 
laid hands on him, and took 
him by the throat, saying, Pay 
me that thou owest. 

29. And his fellowservant 
fell down at his feet, and be- 
sought him, saying, Have pa- 
tience with me, and I will pay 
thee all. 

30. And he would not: but 
went and cast him into prison, 
till he should pay the debt. 

31. So when his f ellowserv- 
ants saw what was done, they 
were very sorry, and came and 
told unto their lord all that 
was done. 

32. Then his lord, after that 
he had called him, said unto 
him, O thou wicked servant, I 
forgave thee all that debt, be- 
cause thou desiredst me : 

33. Shouldest not thou also 
have had compassion on t*lay 
fellowservant, even as I had 
pity on thee ? 

34. And his lord was wroth, 
and delivered him to the tor- 



80 



mentors, till he should pay all 
that was due unto him. 
MATT. 18. 35. So like- 
wise shall my heavenly Father 
do also unto you, if ye from 
your hearts forgive not every 
one his brother their tres- 
passes. 

LUKE 9. 51. And it came to 
pass, when the time was come 
that he should be received up, 
he stedfastly set his face to go 
to Jerusalem, 

52. And sent messengers be- 
fore his face: and they went, 
and entered into a village of 
the Samaritans, to make ready 
for him. 

53. And they did not receive 
him, because his face was as 
though he would go to Jeru- 
salem. 

54. And when his disciples 
James and John saw this, they 
said, Lord, wilt thou that we 
command fire to come down 
from heaven, and consume 
them, even as Elias did? 

55. But he turned, and re- 
buked them, and said, Ye know 
not what manner of spirit ye 
are of. 

56. For the Son of man is 
not come to destroy men's lives, 
but to save them. And they 
went to another village. 

57. And it came to pass, that, 
as they went in the way, a cer- 
tain man said unto them, Lord, 
I will follow thee whitherso- 
ever thou goest. 

58. And Jesus said unto him, 
Foxes have holes, and birds of 
the air have nests ; but the Son 
of man hath not where to lay 
his head. 

59. And he said unto an- 



other, Follow me. But he 
said. Lord, suffer me first to go 
and bury my father. 

60. Jesus said unto him, Let 
the dead bury their dead : but 
go thou and preach the king- 
dom of God. 

61. And another also said, 
Lord, I will follow thee ; but 
let me first go bid them fare- 
well, which are at home at my 
house. 

62. And Jesus said unto 
him, No man, having put his 
hand to the plough, and look- 
ing back, is fit for the kingdom 
of God. 

SECTION 38. 

LUKE 10. 1. After these 
things the Lord appointed 
other seventy also, and sent 
them two and two before his 
face into every city and place, 
whither he himself would 
come. 

2. Therefore said he unto 
them, The harvest truly is 
great, but the labourers are 
faw: pray ye therefore the 
Lord of the harvest, that he 
would send forth labourers 
into his harvest. 

3. Go your ways : behold, I 
send you forth as lambs among 
wolves. 

4. Carry neither purse, nor 
scrip, nor shoes : and salute 
no man by the way. 

5. And into whatsoever 
house ye enter, first say. Peace 
be to this house. 

6. And if the son of peace 
be there, your peace shall rest 
upon it: if not, it shall turn 
to you again. 



81 



LUKE 10. 7. And in the 

same house remain, eating and 
drinking such things as they 
give: for the labourer is 
worthy of his hire. Go not 
from house to house. 

8. And into whatsoever city 
ye enter, and they receive you, 
eat such things as are set be- 
fore you : 

9. And heal the sick that 
are therein, and say unto 
them, The kingdom of God is 
come nigh unto you. 

10. But into whatsoever 
city ye enter, and they receive 
you not, go your ways out into 
the streets of the same, and 
say, 

11. Even the very dust of 
your city, which cleaveth on 
us, we do wipe off against 
you : notwithstanding be ye 
sure of this, that the kingdom 
of God is come nigh unto 
you. 

12. But I say unto you, that 
it shall be more tolerable in 
that day for Sodom, than for 
that city. 

13. Woe unto thee, Chora- 
zin ! woe unto thee, Bethsaida ! 
for if the mighty works had 
been done in Tyre and Sidon, 
which have been done in you, 
they had a great while ago 
repented, sitting in sackcloth 
and ashes. 

14. But it shall be more 
tolerable for Tyre and Sidon 
at the judgment, than for you. 

15. And thou, Capernaum, 
which art exalted to heaven, 
shalt be thrust down to hell. 

16. He that heareth you 
heareth me ; and he that de- 
spiseth you despiseth me ; and 



he that despiseth me despiseth 
him that sent me. 

17. And the seventy re- 
turned again with joy, saying, 
Lord, even the devils are sub- 
ject unto us through thy name. 

18. And he said unto them, 
I beheld Satan as lightning 
fall from heaven. 

19. Behold, I give unto you 
power to tread on serpents 
and scorpions, and over all 
the power of the enemy : and 
nothing shall by any means 
hurt you. 

20. Notwithstanding in this 
rejoice not, that the spirits are 
subject unto you; but rather 
rejoice, because your names 
are written in heaven. 

21. In that hour Jesus re- 
joiced in spirit, and said, I 
thank thee, O Father, Lord of 
heaven and earth, that thou 
hast hid these things from the 
wise and prudent, and hast 
revealed them unto babes : 
even so. Father ; for so it 
seemed good in thy sight. 

22. All things are delivered 
to me of my Father : and no 
man knoweth who the Son is, 
but the Father : and who the 
Father is, but the Son, and he 
to whom the Son will reveal 
him. 

23. And he turned him unto 
his disciples, and said private- 
ly. Blessed are the eyes which 
see the things that ye see : 

24. For I tell you, that 
many prophets and kings have 
desired to see those things 
which ye see, and have not 
seen them ; and to hear those 
things which ye hear, and 
have not heard them. 



82 



MATT. 19. 1. And it came 
to pass, that when Jesus had 
finished these sayings, he de- 
j3arted from Galilee, and came 
into the coasts of Judsea be- 
yond Jordan ; 

2. And great multitudes fol- 
lowed him ; and he healed 
them there. 

LUKE 10. 25. And, behold, 
a certain lawyer stood up, and 
tempted him, saying, Master, 
what shall I do to inherit 
eternal life? 

26. He said unto him, What 
is written in the law? how 
readest thou ? 

27. And he answering said. 
Thou shalt love the Lord thy 
God with all thy heart, and 
with all thy soul, and With all 
thy strength, and with all thy 
mind; and thy neighbour as 
thyself. 

28. And he said unto him. 
Thou hast answered right : 
this do, and thou shalt live. 

29. But he, willing to jus- 
tify himself, said unto Jesus, 
And who is my neighbour ? 

30. And Jesus answering 
said, A certain man went 
down from Jerusalem to J eri- 
cho, and fell among thieves, 
which stripped him of his 
raiment, and wounded him, 
and departed, leaving him 
half dead. 

31. And by chance there 
came down a certain priest 
that way : and when he saw 
him, he passed by on the other 
side. 

32. And likewise a Levite, 
when he was at the place, 
came and looked on him, and 
passed by on the other side. 



33. But a certain Samari- 
tan, as he journeyed, came 
where he was : and when he 
saw him, he had compassion 
on him, 

34. And went to him, and 
bound up his wounds, pouring 
in oil and wine, and set him 
on his own beast, and brought 
him to an inu, and took care 
of him. 

35. And on the morrow 
when he departed, he took 
out two pence, and gave them 
to the host, and said unto 
him. Take care of him ; and 
whatsoever thou spendest 
more, when I come again, I 
will repay thee. 

36. Which now of these 
three, thinkest thou, was neigh- 
bour unto him that fell amoog 
thieves? 

37. And he said. He that 
shewed mercy on him. Then 
said Jesus unto him. Go, and 
do thou likewise. 

38. Now it came to pass, as 
they went, that he entered 
into a certain village : and a 
certain woman named Martha 
received him into her house. 

39. And she had a sister 
called Mary, which also sat at 
Jesus' feet, and heard his word. 

40. But Martha was cumbered 
about much serving, and came 
to him, and said, Lord, dost 
thou not care that my sister 
hath left me to serve alone ? 
Bid her therefore that she 
help me. 

41. And Jesus answered 
and said unto her, Martha, 
Martha, thou art careful and 
troubled about many things : 

42. But one thing is need- 



83 



f ul : and Mary hath chosen 
that good part, which shall 
not be taken away from her. 

SECTION 39. 

LUKE M . 1. And it came 
to pass, that, as he was pray- 
ing in a certain place, when 
he ceased, one of his disciples 
said unto him. Lord, teach us 
to pray, as John also taught 
his disciples. 

2. And he said unto them. 
When ye pray, say, Our 
Father which art in heaven, 
Hallowed be thy name. Thy 
kingdom come. Thy will be 
done, as in heaven, so in earth. 

3. Give us day by day our 
daily bread. 

4. And forgive us our sins ; 
for we also forgive every one 
that is indebted to us. And 
lead us not into temptation ; 
but deliver us from evil. 

5. And he said unto them, 
Which of you shall have a 
friend, and shall go unto him 
at midnight, and say unto him. 
Friend, lend me three loaves ; 

6. For a friend of mine in 
his journey is come to me, 
and I have nothing to set be- 
fore him ? 

7. And he from within shall 
answer and say. Trouble me 
not : the door is now shut, 
and my children are with me 
in bed ; I cannot rise and give 
thee. 

8. I say unto you, Though 
he will not rise and give him, 
because he is his friend, yet 
because of his importunity he 
will rise and give him as many 
as he needeth. 



9. And I say unto you. Ask, 
and it shall be given you; 
seek, and ye shall find ; knock, 
and it shall be opened unto 
you. 

10. For every one that ask- 
eth receiveth ; and he that 
seeketh findeth ; and to him 
that ^knocketh it shall be 
opened. 

11. If a son shall ask bread of 
any of you that is a father, 
will he give him a stone? or 
if he ask a fish, will he for a 
fish give him a serpent ? 

12. Or if he shall ask an 
egg, will he offer him a scor- 
pion ? 

13. If ye then, being evil, 
know how to give good gifts 
unto your children : how much 
more shall your heavenly 
Father give the Holy Spirit to 
them that ask him ? 

27. And it came to pass, as 
he spake these things, a cer- 
tain woman of the company 
lifted up her voice, and said 
unto him. Blessed is the womb 
that bare thee, and the paps 
which thou hast sucked. 

28. But he said. Yea rather, 
blessed are they th?,t hear the 
word of God, and keep it. 

33. No man, vfhen he hath 
lighted a candle, putteth it in 
a secret place, neither under a 
bushel, but on a candlestick, 
that they which come in may 
see the light. 

34. The light of the body 
is the eye : therefore when 
thine eye is single, thy whole 
body also is full of light ; but 
when thine eye is evil, thy 
body also is full of darkness. 



84 



LUKE II. 35. Take heed 
therefore that the light which 
is in thee be not darkness. 

36. If thy whole bodj there- 
fore be full of light, having 
no part dark, the whole shall 
be full of light, as when the 
bright shining of a candle doth 
give thee light. 

37. And as he spake, a cer- 
tain Pharisee besought him to 
dine with him : and he went 
in, and sat down to meat. 

38. And when the Pharisee 
saw it, he marvelled that he 
had not first washed before 
dinner. 

39. And the Lord said unto 
him. Now do ye Pharisees 
make clean the outside of the 
cup and the platter ; but your 
inward part is full of raven- 
ing and wickedness. 

40. Ye fools, did not he 
that made that which is 
without make that which is 
within also ? 

41. But rather give alms of 
such things as ye have ; and, 
behold, all things are clean 
unto you. 

42. But woe unto you, 
Pharisees! for ye tithe mint 
and rue and all manner of 
herbs, and pass over judg- 
ment and the love of God : 
these ought ye to have done, 
and not to leave the other un- 
done. 

43. Woe unto you, Phari- 
sees ! for ye love the upper- 
most seats in the synagogues, 
and greetings in the markets. 

44. Woe unto you, scribes 
and Pharisees, hypocrites ! for 
ye are as graves which appear 
not, and the men that walk 



over them are not aware of 
them. 

45. Then answered one of 
the lawyers, and said unto him, 
Master, thus saying thou re- 
proachest us also. 

46. And he said, Woe unto 
you also, ye lawyers ! for ye 
lade men with burdens griev- 
ous to be borne, and ye your- 
selves touch not the burdens 
with one of your fingers. 

47. Woe unto you! for ye 
build the sepulchres of the 
prophets, and your fathers 
killed them. 

48. Truly ye bear witness 
that ye allow the deeds of your 
fathers : for they indeed killed 
them, and ye build their sepul- 
chres. 

49. Therefore also said the 
wisdom of God, 1 will send 
them prophets and apostles, 
and some of them they shall 
slay and persecute : 

oO. That the blood of all the 
prophets, which was shed from 
the foundation of the world, 
may be required of this gen- 
eration : 

51. From the blood of Abel 
unto the blood of Zacharias, 
which perished between the 
altar and the temple : verily I 
say unto you, It shall be re- 
quired of this generation. 

52. Woe unto you, lawyers! 
for ye have taken away the 
key of knowledge : ye entered 
not in yourselves, and them 
that Avere entering in ye hin- 
dered. 

53. And as he said these 
things unto them, the scribes 
and the Pharisees began to 
urge him vehemently, and to 



85 



provoke him to speak of many 
things : 

LUKE II. 54. Laying wait 
for him, and seeking to catch 
something out of his mouth, 
that they might accuse him. 

P SECTION 40. 

LUKE 12. 1. In the mean 
time, when there were gathered 
together an innumerable mul- 
titude of people, insomuch that 
they trode one upon another, 
he began to say unto his dis- 
ciples first of ail. Beware ye of 
the leaven of the Pharisees, 
which is hypocrisy. 
« 2. For there is nothing cov- 
ered, that shall not be reveal- 
ed ; neither hid, that shall not 
be known. 

3. Therefore whatsoever ye 
have spoken in darkness shall 
be heard in the light ; and that 
which ye have spoken in the 
ear in closets stsall be pro- 
claimed upon the housetops. 

4. And I say unto you my 
friends. Be not afraid of them 
that kill the body, and after 
that have no more that they 
can do. 

5. But I will forewarn you 
whom ye shall fear: Fear him, 
which after hehath killed hath 
power to cast into hell ; yea, I 
say unto you. Fear him. 

6. Are not five sparrows 
sold for two farthings, and not 
one of them is forgotten be- 
fore God? 

7. But even the very hairs of 
your head are all numbered. 
Fear not therefore: ye are of 
more value than many spar- 
rows. I 



8. Also I say unto you,Who- 
soever shall confess me before 
men, him shall the Son of man 
also confess before the angels 
of God : 

9. But he that denieth me 
before men shall be denied 
before the angels of God. 

10. And whosoever shall 
speak a word against the Son 
of man, it shall be forgiven 
him: but unto him that blas- 
phemeth against the Holy 
Ghost it shall not be forgiven. 

11. And when they bring 
you unto the synagogues, and 
unto magistrates, and powers, 
take ye no thought how or 
what things ye shall answer, or 
what ye shall say : 

12. For the Holy Ghost shall 
teach you in the same hour 
what ye ought to say. 

13. And one of the company 
said unto him. Master, speak 
to my brother, that he divide 
the inheritance with me. 

14. And he said unto him, 
Man, who made me a judge or 
a divider over you? 

15. And he said unto them, 
Take heed, and beware of 
covetousness : for a man's life 
consisteth not in the abund- 
ance of the things which he 
possesseth. 

16. And he spake a parable 
unto them, saying, The ground 
of a certain rich man brought 
forth plentifully : 

17. And he thought within 
himself, saying, What shall I 
do, because I have no room 
where to bestow my fruits? 

18. And he said, This will I 
do : I will pull down my barns, 
and build greater; and there 



86 



will I bestow all my fruits and 
mj goods. 

LUKE 12. 19. And I will 
say to my soul, Soul, thou hast 
much goods laid up for many 
years ; take thine ease, eat, 
drink, and be merry. 

20. But God said unto him, 
Thou fool, this night thy soul 
shall be required of thee : then 
whose shall those thingfs be, 
which thou hast provided ? 

21. So is he that layeth up 
treasure for himself, and is not 
rich toward God. 

22. And he said unto his 
disciples, Therefore I say 
unto you, Take no thought for 
your life, what ye shall eat ; 
neither for the body, what ye 
shall put on. 

23. The life is more than 
meat, and the body is more 
than raiment. 

24. Consider the ravens : 
for they neither sow nor reap ; 
which neither have store- 
house nor barn ; and God 
feedeth them: how much 
more are ye better than the 
fowls ? 

25. And which of you with 
taking thought can add to his 
stature one cubit ? 

26. If ye then be not able 
to do that thing which is least, 
why take ye thought for the 
rest? 

27. Consider the lilies how 
they grow : they toil not, they 
spin not ; and yet I say unto 
you, that Solomon in all his 
glory was not arrayed like one 
of these. 

28. If then God so clothe 
the grass, which is to day in 
the field, and to morrow is 



cast into the oven ; how much 
more will he clothe you, O ye 
of little faith ? 

29. And seek not ye what 
ye shall eat, or what ye shall 
drink, neither be ye of doubt- 
ful mind. 

30. For all these things do 
the nations of the world seek 
after : and your Father know- 
eth that ye have need of these 
things. 

31. But rather seek ye the 
kingdom of God ; and all 
these things shall be added 
unto you. 

32. Fear not, little flock; 
for it is your Father's good 
pleasure to give you the king- 
dom. 

33. Sell that ye have, and 
give alms ; provide yourselves 
bags which wax not old, a 
treasure in the heavens that 
faileth not, where no thief 
approacheth, neither moth 
corrupteth. 

34. For where your treasure 
is, there will your heart be 
also. 

35. Let your loins be girded 
about, and your lights burning; 

36. And ye yourselves like 
unto men that wait for their 
lord, when he will return 
from the wedding ; that when 
he cometh and knocketh, they 
may open unto him immedi- 
ately. 

37. Blessed are those serv- 
ants, whom the lord when he 
cometh shall find watchicg : 
verily I say unto you, that he 
shall gird himself, and make 
them to sit down to meat, and 
will come forth and serve 
them. 



87 



LUKE 12. 38. And if he 

shall come in the second watch, 
or come in the third watch, 
and find them so, blessed are 
those servants. 

39. And this know, that if 
the goodman of the house 
had known what hour the 
thief would come, he would 
have watched, and not have 
suffered his house to be broken 
through. 

40. Be ye therefore ready 
also : for the Son of man Com- 
eth at an hour when ye think 
not. 

41. Then Peter said unto 
him. Lord, speakest thou this 
parable unto us, or even to all ? 

42. And the Lord said. Who 
then is that faithful and wise 
steward, whom his lord shall 
make ruler over his house- 
hold, to give them their por- 
tion of meat in due season? 

43. Blessed is that servant, 
whom his lord when he com- 
eth shall find so doing. 

44. Of a truth I say unto 
you, that he will make him 
ruler over all that he hath. 

45. But and if that servant 
say in his heart, My lord de- 
lay eth his coming; and shall 
begin to beat the menservants 
and maidens, and to eat and 
drink, and to be drunken ; 

46. The lord of that serv- 
ant will come in a day when 
he looketh not for him, and at 
an hour when he is not aware, 
and will cut him in sunder, 
and will appoint him his por- 
tion with the unbelievers. 

47. And that servant, which 
knew his lord^s will, and pre- 
pared not himself, neither did 



according to his will, shall be 
beaten with many stripes. 

48. But he that knew not, 
and did commit things worthy 
of stripes, shall be beaten 
with few stripes. For unto 
whomsoever much is given, of 
him shall be much required : 
and to whom men have com- 
mitted much, of him they will 
ask the more. 

49. I am come to send fire 
on the earth ; and what will I, 
if it be already kindled ? 

50. But I have a baptism to 
be baptized with ; and how am 
I straitened till it be accom- 
plished ! 

51. Suppose ye that I am 
come to give peace on earth ? 
I tell you. Nay ; but rather 
division : 

52. For from henceforth 
there shall be five in one house 
divided, three against two, 
and two against three. 

53. The father shall be di- 
vided against the son, and the 
son against the father ; the 
mother against the daughter, 
and the daughter against the 
mother; the mother in law 
against her daughter in law, 
and the daughter in law 
against her mother in law. 

54. And he said also to the 
people, When ye see a cloud 
rise out of the west, straight- 
way ye say, There cometh a 
shower; and so it is. 

65. And when ye see the 
south wind blow, ye say. There 
will be heat ; and it cometh to 
pass. 

56. Ye hypocrites, ye can 
discern the face of the sky and 



88 



of the earth ; but how is it that 
ye do not discern this time ? 
LUKE 12. 57. Yea, and why 
even of yourselves judge ye 
not what is right ? 

58. When thou goest with 
thine adversary to the magis- 
trate, as thou art in the way, 
give diligence that thou may- 
est be delivered from him ; 
lest he hale thee to the judge, 
and the judge deliver thee to 
the officer, and the officer cast 
thee into prison. 

59. I tell thee, thou shalt 
not depart thence, till thou 
hast paid the very last mite. 

SECTION 41. 

LUKE I 3. 1. There were 
present at that season some 
that told him of the Galileans, 
whose blood Pilate had min- 
gled with their sacrifices. 

2. And Jesus answering 
said unto them, Suppose ye 
that these Galilseans were sin- 
ners above all the Galilagans, 
because they suffered such 
things ? 

3. I tell you, Nay: but, ex- 
cept ye repent, ye shall all 
likewise perish. 

4. Or those eighteen, upon 
whom the tower in Siloam fell, 
and slew them, think ye that 
they were sinners above all 
men that dwelt in Jerusalem? 

5. I tell you, Nay: but, ex- 
cept ye repent, ye shall all 
likewise perish. 

6. He spake also this par- 
able : A certain man had a fig 
tree planted in his vineyard ; 
and he came and sought fruit 
thereon, and found none. 



7. Then said he unto the 
dresser of his vineyard, Be- 
hold, these three years I come 
seeking fruit on this fig tree, 
and find none: cut it down; 
why cumbereth it the ground ? 

8. And he answering said 
unto him. Lord, let it alone 
this year also, till I shall dig 
about it, and dung it : 

9. And if it bear fruit, well : 
and if not, then after that thou 
shalt cut it down. 

10. And he was teaching in 
one of the synagogues on the 
sabbath. 

11. And, behold, there was 
a woman which had a spirit of 
infirmity eighteen years, and 
was bowed together, and 
could in no wise lift up her- 
self. 

12. And when Jesus saw 
her, he called her to him, and 
said unto her. Woman, thou art 
loosed from thine infirmity. 

13. And he laid his hands 
on her: and immediately she 
was made straight, and glori- 
fied God. 

14. And the ruler of the 
synagogue answered with in- 
dignation, because that Jesus 
had healed on the sabbath 
day, and said unto the people. 
There are six days in which 
men ought to work: in them 
therefore come and be healed, 
and not on the sabbath day. 

15. The Lord then answered 
him, and said, Thou hypocrite, 
doth not each one of you on 
the sabbath loose his ox or his 
ass from the stall, and lead 
him away to watering ? 

16. And ought not this 
woman, being a daughter of 



89 



Abraham, whom Satan hath 
bound, lo, these eighteen 
years, be loosed from this 
bond on the sabbath day? 
LUKE 13. 17. And when 
he had said these things, all 
his adversaries were ashamed : 
and all the people rejoiced for 
all the glorious things that 
f were done by him. 

18. Then said he, Unto what 
is the kingdom of God like? 
and whereunto shall I resem- 
ble it? 

19. It is like a grain of mus- 
tard seed, which a man took, 
and cast into his garden ; and 
it grew, and waxed a great 
tree ; and the fowls of the air 
lodged in the branches of it. 

20. And again he said, 
Whereunto shall I liken the 
kingdom of God ? 

21. It is like leaven, which 
a woman took and hid in three 
measures of meal, till the 
whole was leavened. 

22. And he went through 
the cities and villages, teach- 
ing, and journeying toward 
Jerusalem. 

23. Then said one unto hira, 
Lord, are there few that be 
saved ? And he said unto 
them, 

24. Strive to enter in at the 
strait gate : for many, I say 
unto you, will seek to enter in, 
and shall not be able. 

25. When once the master 
of the house is risen up, and 
hath shut to the door, and ye 
begin to stand without, and 
to knock at the door, saying. 
Lord, Lord, open unto us; 
and he shall answer and say 



unto you, I know you not 
whence ye are : 

26. Then shall ye begin to 
say, We have eaten and drunk 
in thy presence, and thou hast 
taught in our streets. 

27. But he shall say, I tell 
you, I know you not whence ye 
are; depart from me, all ye 
workers of iniquity. 

28. There shall be weeping 
and gnashing of teeth, when 
ye shall see Abraham, and 
Isaac, and Jacob, and all the 
prophets, in the kingdom of 
God, and you yourselves 
thrust out. 

29. And they shall come 
from the east, and from the 
west, and from the north, and 
from the south, and shall sit 
down in the kingdom of God. 

30. And, behold, there are 
last which shall be first, and 
there are first which shall be 
last. 

31. The same day there 
came certain of the Pharisees, 
saying unto him, Get thee out, 
and depart hence : for Herod 
will kill thee. 

32. And he said unto them, 
Go ye and tell that fox. Be- 
hold, I cast out devils, and I 
do cures to day and to morrow, 
and the third day I shall be 
perfected. 

33. Nevertheless I must 
walk to day and to morrow, and 
the day following : for it can- 
not be that a prophet perish 
out of Jerusalem. 

34. O Jerusalem, Jerusa- 
lem, which killest the proph- 
ets, and stonest them that are 
sent unto thee ; how often 
would I have gathered thy 



90 



children together, as a hen 
doth gather her brood under 
her wings, and ye would not ! 
LUKE 13. 35. Behold, your 
house is left unto you desolate : 
and verily I say unto you, Ye 
shall not see me, until the time 
come when ye shall say, Bless- 
ed is he that cometh in the 
name of the Lord. 

SECTION 42. 

JOHN 10. 22. And it was at 

Jerusalem the feast of the 
dedication, and it was winter. 

23. And Jesus walked in 
the temple in Solomon's 
porch. 

24. Then came the Jews 
round about him, and said 
unto him. How long dost thou 
make us to doubt? If thou 
be the Christ, tell us plainly. 

25. Jesus answered them, I 
told you, and ye believed not : 
the works that I do in my 
Father's name, they bear wit- 
ness of me. 

26. But ye believe not, be- 
cause ye are not of my sheep, 
as I said unto you. 

27. My sheep hear my 
voice, and I know them, and 
they follow me : 

28. And I give unto them 
eternal life ; and they shall 
never perish, neither shall any 
man pluck them out of my 
hand. 

29. My Father, which gave 
them me, is greater than all ; 
and no man is able to pluck 
them out of my Father's hand. 

30. I and my Father are 
one. 



31. Then the Jews took up 
stones again to stone him. 

32. Jesus answered them, 
Many good works have I 
shewed you from my Father ; 
for which of those works do 
ye stone me? 

33. The Jews answered him, 
saying, For a good work we 
stone thee not ; but for blas- 
phemy ; and because that thou, 
being a man, makest thyself 
God. 

34. Jesus answered them, 
Is it not written in your law, 
I said. Ye are gods ? 

35. If he called them gods, 
unto whom the word of God 
came, and the scripture can- 
not be broken ; 

36. Say ye of him, whom 
the Father hath sanctified, 
and sent into the world, Thou 
blasphemest ; because I said, I 
am the Son of God ? 

37. If I do not the works of 
my Father, believe me not. 

38. But if I do, though ye 
believe not me, believe the 
works : that ye may know, 
and believe, that the Father 
is in me, and I in him. 

39. Therefore they sought 
again to take him : but he es- 
caped out of their hand, 

40. And went away again 
beyond Jordan into the place 
where John at first baptized ; 
and there he abode. 

41. And many resorted un- 
to him, and said, John did no 
miracle : but all things that 
John spake of this man were 
true. 

42. And many believed on 
him there. 



91 



SECTION 43. 

LUKE 14. 1. And it came to 
pass, as he went into the house 
of one of the chief Pharisees 
to eat bread on the sabbath 
day, that they watched him. 

2. And, behold, there was 
a certain man before him 
which had the dropsy. 

3. And Jesus answering 
spake unto the lawyers and 
Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful 
to heal on the sabbath day? 

4. And they held their 
peace. And he took him, and 
healed him, and let him go; 

5. And answered them, say- 
ing, Which of you shall have 
an ass or an ox fallen into a 
pit, and will not straightway 
pull him out on the sabbath 
day? 

6. And they could not an- 
swer him again to these things. 

7. And he put forth a par- 
able to those which were 
bidden, when he marked how 
they chose out the chief rooms ; 
saying unto them, 

8. When thou art bidden of 
any man to a wedding, sit not 
down in the highest room ; lest 
a more honourable man than 
thou be bidden of him; 

9. And he that bade thee 
and him come and say to thee, 
Give this man place; and thou 
begin with shame to take the 
lowest room. 

10. But when thou art bid- 
den, go and sit down in the 
lov/est room; that when he 
that bade thee cometh, he may 
say unto thee, Friend, go up 
higher: then shalt thou have 
worship in the presence of 



them that sit at meat with thee. 

11. For whosoever exalteth 
himself shall be abased ; and 
he that humbleth himself shall 
be exalted. 

12. Then said he also to him 
that bade him, When thou mak- 
est a dinner or a supper, call 
not thy friends, nor thy breth- 
ren, neither thy kinsmen, nor 
thy rich neighbours; lest they 
also bid thee again, and a rec- 
ompense be made thee. 

13. But when thoumakest a 
feast, call the poor, the maim- 
ed, the lame, the blind : 

14. And thou shalt be bless- 
ed ; for they cannot recom- 
pense thee : for thou shalt be 
recompensed at the resurrec- 
tion of the just. 

15. And when one of them 
that sat at meat with him heard 
these things, he said unto him. 
Blessed is he that shall eat 
bread in the kingdom of God. 

16. Then said he unto him, 
A certain man made a great 
supper, and bade many : 

17. And sent his servant at 
supper time to say to them that 
were bidden. Come; for all 
things are now ready. 

18. And they all with one 
consent began to make excuse. 
The first said unto him, I have 
bought a piece of ground, and 
I must needs go and see it: I 
pray thee have me excused. 

19. And another said, I have 
bought five yoke of oxen, and 
I go to prove them: I pray 
thee have me excused. 

20. And another said,! have 
married a wife, and therefore 
I cannot come. 



9; 



LUKE 14. 21. So that serv- 
ant came, and shewed his 
lord these things. Then the 
master of the house being 
angrj said to his servant, Go 
out quickly into the streets and 
lanes of the citj, and bring in 
hither the poor, and the 
maimed, and the halt, and the 
blind. 

22. And the servant said, 
Lord, it is done as thou hast 
commanded, and yet there is 
room. 

23. And the lord said unto 
the servant^ Go out into the 
highways and hedges, and 
compel them to come in, that 
my house may be filled. 

24. For I say unto you, That 
none of those men which were 
bidden shall taste of my sup- 
per. 

25. And there went great 
multitudes with him : and he 
turned, and said unto them, 

26. If any man come to me, 
and hate not his father, and 
mother, and wife, and children, 
and brethren, and sisters, yea, 
and his own life also, he can- 
not be my disciple. 

27. And whosoever doth not 
bear his cross, and come after 
me, cannot be my disciple. 

28. For which of you, in- 
tending to build a tower, sit- 
teth not down first, and count- 
eth the cost, whether he have 
sufficient to finish it ? 

29. Lest haply, after he hath 
laid the foundation, and is not 
able to finish it, all that behold 
it begin to mock him, 

30. Saying, This man began 
to build, and was not able to 
finish. 



31. Or what king, going to 
make war against another 
king, sitteth not down first, and 
consulteth whether he be able 
with ten thousand to meet him 
that Cometh against him with 
twenty thousand ? 

32. Or else, while the other 
is yet a great way off, he send- 
eth an ambassage, and desireth 
conditions of peace. 

33. So likewise, whosoever 
he be of you that forsaketh 
not all that he hath, he cannot 
be my disciple. 

34. Salt is good : but if the 
salt have lost his savour, where- 
with shall it be seasoned ? 

35. It is neither fit for the 
land, nor yet for the dunghill ; 
but men cast it out. He that 
hath ears to hear, let him hear. 

SECTION 44. 

LUKE 15. 1. Then drew 
near unto him all the publicans 
and sinners for to hear him. 

2. And the Pharisees and 
scribes murmured, saying, 
This man receiveth sinners, 
and eateth with them. 

3. And he spake this par- 
able unto them, saying, 

4. What man of you, hav- 
ing an hundred sheep, if he 
lose one of them, doth not 
leave the ninety and nine in 
the wilderness, and go after 
that which is lost, until he 
find it? 

5. And when he hath found 
it, he layeth it on his shoul- 
ders, rejoicing. 

6. And when he cometh 
home, he calleth together his 
friends and neighbours, saying 



93 



unto them, Kejoice with me; 
for I have found mj sheep 
which was Jost. 
LUKE 15. 7. I say unto 
you, that likewise joy shall be 
in heaven over one sinner 
that repenteth,more than over 
ninety and nine just persons, 
which need no repentance. 

8. Either what woman hav- 
ing ten pieces of silver, if she 
lose one piece, doth not light 
a candle, and sweep the house, 
and seek diligently till she find 
it? 

9. And when she hath 
found it, she caileth her 
friends and her neighbours 
together, saying, Rejoice with 
me ; for I have found the 
piece which I had lost. 

10. Likewise, I say unto 
you, there is joy in the pres- 
ence of the angels of God 
over one sinner that repent- 
eth. 

11. And he said, A. certain 
man had two sons: 

12. And the younger of 
them said to his father, 
Father, give me the portion 
of goods that falleth to me. 
And he divided unto them 
his living. 

13. And not many days 
after the younger son gathered 
all together, and took his jour- 
ney into a far country, and 
there wasted his substance 
with riotous living. 

14. And when he had spent 
all, there arose a mighty fam- 
ine in that land ; and he be- 
gan to be in want. 

15. And he went and joined 
himself to a citizen of that 



country ; and he sent him into 
his fields to feed swine. 

16. And he would fain 
have filled his belly with the 
husks that the swine did eat : 
and no man gave unto him. 

17. And when he came to 
himself, he said, How many 
hired servants of my father's 
have bread enough and to 
spare, and I perish with hun- 
ger ! 

18. I will arise and go to 
my father, and will say unto 
him, Father, I have sinned 
against heaven, and before 
thee, 

19. And am no more wor- 
thy to be called thy son : make 
me as one of thy hired serv- 
ants. 

20. And he arose, and came 
to his father. But when he 
was yet a great way off, his 
father saw him, and had com- 
passion, and ran, and fell on 
his neck, and kissed him. 

21. And the son said unto 
him. Father, I have sinned 
against heaven, and in thy 
sight, and am no more wor- 
thy to be called thy son. 

22. But the father said to 
his servants^ Bring forth the 
best robe, and put it on him ; 
and put a ring on his hand, 
and shoes on his feet : 

23. And bring hither the 
fatted caif, and kill it ; and 
let us eat, and be merry : 

24. For this my son was 
dead, and is alive again ; he 
was lost, and is found. And 
they began to be merry. 

25. Now his elder son was 
in the field : and as he came 



94 



and drew nigh to the house, 
he heard musick and dancing, 
LUKE I 5. 26. And he 
called one of the servants, 
and asked what these things 
meant. 

27. And he said unto him, 
Thy brother is come ; and thy 
father hath killed the fatted 
calf, because he hath received 
him safe and sound. 

28. And he was angry, and 
would not go in : therefore 
came his father out, and in- 
treated him. 

29. And he answering said 
to his father, Lo, these many 
years do I serve thee, neither 
transgressed I at any time thy 
commandment : and yet thou 
never gavest me a kid, that I 
might make merry with my 
friends : 

30. But as soon as this thy 
son was come, which hath 
devoured thy living with har- 
lots, thou hast killed for him 
the fatted calf. 

31. And he said unto him. 
Son, thou art ever with me, 
and all that I have is thine. 

32. It was meet that we 
should make merry, and be 
glad : for this thy brother was 
dead, and is alive again ; and 
was lost, and is found. 

SECTION 45. 

LUKE I 6. 1. And he said 
also unto his disciples, There 
was a certain rich man, which 
had a steward : and the same 
was accused unto him that he 
had wasted his goods. 

2. And he called him, and 
said unto him, How is it that 



j I hear this of thee? give an 
\ account of thy stewardship ; 
: for thou mayest be no longer 
; steward. 

I 3. Then the steward said 
I within himself, What 'shall I 
: do ? for my lord taketh away 
from me the stewardship ; 1 
cannot dig ; to beg I am 
ashamed. 

4. I am resolved what to 
do, that, when I am put out 
of the stewardship, they may 
receive me into their houses. 

5. So he called every one of 
his lord's debtors unto him, 
and said unto the first. How 
much owest thou unto mv 
lord ? 

6. And he said, An hun- 
dred measures of oil. And 
he said unto him, Take thy 
bill, and sit down quickly, and 
write fifty. 

7. Then said he to another. 
And how much owest thou? 
And he said, An hundred 
measures of wheat. And he 
said unto him, Take thy bill, 
and write fourscore. 

8. And the lord commend- 
ed the unjust steward, because 
he had done wisely: for the 
children of this world are in 
their generation wiser than 
the children of light. 

9. And I say unto you, 
Make to yourselves friends of 
the mammon of unrighteous- 
ness ; that, when ye fail, they 
may receive you into ever- 
lasting habitations. 

10. He that is faithful in 
that which is least is faithful 
also in much : and he that is 
unjust in the least is unjust 
also in much. 



95 



LUKE 16. 11. If therefore 
ye have not been faithful in 
the unrighteous mammon, who 
will commit to your trust the 
true riches ? 

12. And if ye have not been 
faithful in that which is an- 
other man's, who shall give 
you that which is your own ? 

13. No servant can serve 
two masters : for either he will 
hate the one, and love the 
other ; or else he will hold to 
the one, and despise the other. 
Ye cannot serve God and 
mammon. 

14. And the Pharisees also, 
who were covetous, heard all 
these things : and they de- 
rided him. 

15. And he said unto them, 
Ye are they which justify 
yourselves before men ; but 
God knoweth your hearts : for 
that which is highly esteemed 
among men is abomination in 
the sight of God. 

16. The law and the proph- 
ets were until John : since 
that time the kingdom of God 
is preached, and every man 
presseth into it. 

17. And it is easier for 
heaven and earth to pass, than 
one tittle of ^le law to fail. 

18. Whosoever putteth 
away his wife, and marrieth 
another, committeth adultery : 
and whosoever marrieth her 
that is put away from her hus- 
band committeth adultery. 

19. There was a certain rich 
man, which was clothed in 
purple and fine linen, and 
fared sumptuously every day : 

20. And there was a certain 
beggar named Lazarus, which 



was laid at his gate, full of 
sores. 

21. And desiring to be fed 
with the crumbs which fell 
from the rich man's table : 
moreover the dogs came and 
liclced his sores. 

22. And it came to pass, 
that the beggar died, and was 
carried by the angels into 
Abraham's bosom : the rich 
man also died, and was 
buried ; 

23. And in hell he lift up 
his eyes, being in torments, 
and seeth Abraham afar off, 
and Lazarus in his bosom. 

24. And he cried and said, 
Father Abraham, have mercy 
on me, and send Lazarus, 
that he may dip the tip of his 
finger in v/ater, and cool my 
tongue ; for I am tormented in 
this flame. 

25. But Abraham said. Son, 
remember that thou in thy 
lifetime receivedst thy good 
things, and likewise Lazarus 
evil things : but now he is 
comforted, and thou art tor- 
mented. 

26. And beside all this, be- 
tween us and you there is a 
great gulf fixed : so that they 
which would pass from hence 
to you cannot ; neither can 
they pass to us, that would 
come from thence. 

27. Then he said, I pray 
thee therefore, father, that 
thou wouldest send him to my 
father's house : 

28. For I have five breth- 
ren ; that he may testify unto 
them, lest they also come into 
this place of torment. 

29. Abraham saith unto 



96 



him, Thej have Moses and the 
proDhets ; let them hear them. 
LUKE 16. 30. And he said, 
Nay, father Abraham : bat if 
one went unto them from the 
dead, thej will repent. 

31. And he said unto hiin, 
If they hear not Moses and 
the prophets, neither will they 
be persuaded, though one rose 
from the dead. 

LUKE 1 7. 1. Then said he 
unto the disciples, It is im- 
possible but that offences will 
come: but woe unto him, 
through whom they come ! 

2. It were better for him 
that a millstone were hanged 
about his neck, and he cast 
into the sea, than that he 
should offend one of these 
little ones. 

3. Take heed to yourselves : 
' If thy brother trespass against 

thee, rebuke him ; and if he 
repent, forgive him. 

4. And if he trespass against 
thee seven times in a day, and 
seven times in a day turn 
again to thee, saying, I re- 
pent ; thou shalt forgive him. 

5. And the apostles said 
unto the Lord, Increase our 
faith. 

6. And the Lord said, If ye 
had faith as a grain of mus- 
tard seed, ye might say unto 
this sycamine tree. Be thou 
plucked up by the root, and 
be thou planted in the sea : 
and it should obey you. 

7. But which of you, having 
a servant plowing or feeding 
cattle, will say unto him by 
and by, when he is come from 
the field, Go and sit down to 
meat? 



8. And will not rather say 
unto him. Make ready where- 
with r may sup, and gird thy- 
self, and serve me, till I have 
eaten and drunken ; and after- 
ward thou shalt eat and drink? 

9. Doth he thank that serv- 
ant because he did the things 
that were commanded him? 
I trow not. 

10. So likewise ye, when ye 
shall ha ve done all those things 
which are commanded you, 
say. We are unprofitable serv- 
ants : we have done that 
which was our duty to do. 

SECTION 46. 

JOHN n. 1. ]N^ow a certain 
man was sick, named Lazarus, 
of Bethany, the town of Mary 
and her sister Martha. 

2. (It was that Mary which 
anointed the Lord with oint- 
ment, and wiped his feet with 
her hair, whose brother Laza- 
rus was sick.) 

3. Therefore his sisters sent 
unto him, saying. Lord, behold, 
he whom thou lovest is sick. 

4. When .lesus heard that, 
he said. This sickness is not 
unto death, but for the glory 
of God, that the Son of God 
might be glorified thereby. 

5. N ow Jesus loved Martha, 
and her sister, and Lazarus. 

6. When he had heard there- 
fore that he was sick, he abode 
two days still in the same 
place where he was. 

7. Then after that saith he 
to his disciples, Let us go into 
Judaea again. 

8. His disciples say unto 
him. Master, the Jews of late 



97 



sought to stone thee; and go- 
est thou thither again? 
JOHN II. 9. Jesus answer- 
ed, Are there not twelve hours 
in the day ? -if any man walk 
in the day, he stumbleth not, 
because he seeth the light of 
this world. 

10. But if a man walk in 
the night, he stumbleth, be- 
cause there is no light in him. 

11. These things said he: 
and after that he saith unto 
them. Our friend Lazarus 
sleepeth ; but I go, that I may 
awake him out of sleep. 

12. Then said his disciples, 
Lord, if he sleep, he shall do 
well. 

13. Howbeit Jesus spake of 
his death: but they thought 
that he had spoken of taking 
of rest in sleep. 

14. Then Jesus said unto 
them plainly, Lazarus is dead. 

15. And I am glad for your 
sakes that I was not there, to 
the intent ye may believe ; 
nevertheless let us go unto him. 

16. Then said Thomas, which 
is called Didymus, unto his 
fellowdisciples. Let us also go, 
that we may die with him. 

17. Then when Jesus came, 
he found that he had lain in 
the grave four days already. 

18. Now Bethany was nigh 
unto Jerusalem, about fifteen 
furlongs off : 

19. And many of the Jews 
came to Martha and Mary, to 
comfort them concerning their 
brother. 

20. Then Martha, as soon as 
she heard that Jesus was com- 
ing, went and met him; but 
Mary sat still in the house. 



21. Then said Martha unto 
J esus, Lord, if thou hadst been 
here, my brother had not died. 

22. But I know, that even 
now, whatsoever thou wilt ask 
of God, God will give it thee. 

23. Jesus saith unto her, Thy 
brother shall rise again. 

24. Martha saith unto him, 
I know that he shall rise again 
in the resurrection at the last 
day. 

25. Jesus said unto her, I 
am the resurrection, and the 
life : he that believeth in me, 
though he were dead, yet shall 
he live : 

26. And whosoever liveth 
and believeth in me, shall 
never die. Believest thou this? 

27. She saith unto him. 
Yea, Lord : I believe that thou 
art the Christ, the Son of God, 
which should come into the 
world. 

28. And when she had so 
said, she went her way, and 
called Mary her sister secretly, 
saying, The Master is come, 
and calleth for thee. 

29. As soon as she heard 
that, she arose quickly, and 
came unto him. 

30. Now Jesus was not yet 
come into the town, but was 
in that place where Martha met 
him. 

31. The Jews then which 
were with her in the house, and 
comforted her, when they saw 
Mary, that she rose up hastily 
and went out, followed her, 
saying, She goeth unto the 
grave to weep there. 

32. Then when Mary was 
come where Jesus was, and saw 
him, she fell do'^n at his feet, 



98 



saying unto him, Lord, if thou 
hadst been here, my brother 
had not died. 

JOHN IL 33. When Jesus 
therefore saw her weeping, 
and the Jews also weeping 
which came with her, he 
groaned in the spirit, and was 
troubled. 

34. And said, Where have 
ye laid him ? They said unto 
him. Lord, come and see. 

35. Jesus wept. 

36. Then said the Jews, Be- 
hold how he loved him ! 

37. And some of them said, 
Could not this man, which 
opened the eyes of the blind, 
have caused that even this 
man should not have died? 

38. Jesus therefore again 
groaning in himself cometh 
to the grave. It was a cave, 
and a stone lay upon it. 

39. Jesus said. Take ye 
away the stone. Martha, the 
sister of him that was dead, 
saith unto him, Lord, by this 
time he stinketh : for he hath 
been dead four days. 

40. Jesus saith unto her, 
Said I not unto thee, that, if 
thou wouldest believe, thou 
shouldest see the glory of 
God? 

41. Then they took away 
the stone from the place where 
the dead was laid. And Jesus 
lifted up his eyes, and said. 
Father, I thank thee that thou 
hast heard me. 

42. And I knew that thou 
hearest me always : but be- 
cause of the people which 
stand by I said it, that they 
may believe that thou hast 
sent me. 



43. And when he thus had 
spoken, he cried with a loud 
voice, Lazarus, come forth. 

44. And he that was dead 
came forth, bound hand and 
foot with grave clothes : and 
his face was bound about with 
a napkin. Jesus saith unto 
them, Loose him, and let him 
go- 

45. Then many of the Jews 
which came to Mary, and had 
seen the things which Jesus 
did, believed on him. 

46. But some of them went 
their ways to the Pharisees, 
and told them what things 
Jesus had done. 

47. Then gathered the chief 
priests and the Pharisees a 
council, and said, What do we ? 
for this man doeth many mir- 
acles. 

48. If we let him thus alone, 
all men will believe on him : 
and the Romans shall come 
and take away both our place 
and nation. 

49. And one of them, named 
Caiaphas, being the high 
priest that same year, said un- 
to them, Ye know nothing at all, 

50. Nor consider that it is 
expedient for us, that one 
man should die for the peo- 
ple, and that the whole nation 
perish not. 

51. And this spake he not 
of himself ; but being high 
priest that year, he prophesied 
that J esus should die for that 
nation ; 

52. And not for that nation 
only, but that also he should 
gather together in one the 
children of God that were scat- 
tered abroad. 



JOHN II. 53. Then from 
that day forth thej took coun- 
sel together for to put him to 
death. 

54. Jesus therefore walked 
no more openly among the 
Jews ; but went thence unto a 
country near to the wilder- 
ness, into a city called 
Ephraim, and there con- 
tinued with his disciples. 

SECTION 47. 

LUKE I 7. 11. And it came 
to pass, as he went to Jerusa- 
lem, that he passed through 
-the midst of Samaria and 
Galilee. 

12. And as he entered into 
a certain village, there met 
him ten men that were lepers, 
which stood afar off : 

13. And they lifted up their 
voices, and said, Jesus, Mas- 
ter, have mercy on us. 

14. And when he saw them, 
he said unto them, Go shew 
yourselves unto the priests. 
And it came to pass, that, as 
they went, they were cleansed. 

15. And one of them, when 
he saw that he was healed, 
turned back, and with a loud 
voice glorified God, 

16. And fell down on his 
face at his feet, giving him 
thanks : and he was a Samari- 
tan. 

17. And Jesus answering 
said, Were there not ten 
cleansed? but where are the 
nine? 

18. There are not found 
that returned to give glory to 
God, save this stranger. 

19. And he said unto him, 



Arise, go thy way : thy faith 
hath made thee whole. 

20. And when he was de- 
manded of the Pharisees, 
when the kingdom of God 
should come, he answered 
them and said, The kingdom 
of God. Cometh not with ob- 
servation : 

21. Neither shall they say, 
Lo here! or, lo there! for, be- 
hold, the kingdom of God is 
within you. 

22. And he said unto the 
disciples, The days will come, 
when ye shall desire to see 
one of the days of the Son of 
man, and ye shall not see it. 

23. And they shall say to 
you, See here ; or, see there : 
go not after them, nor follow 
them. 

24. For as the lightning, 
that lighteneth out of the one 
part under heaven, shineth 
unto the other part under 
heaven ; so shall also the Son 
of man be in his day. 

25. But first must he suffer 
many things, and be rejected 
of this generation. 

26. And as it was in the days 
of Noe, so shall it be also in the 
days of the Son of man. 

27. They did eat, they drank, 
they married wives, they were 
given in marriage, until the 
day that Noe entered into the 
ark, and the flood came, and 
destroyed them all. 

28. Likewise also as it was 
in the days of Lot; they did 
eat, they drank, they bougrht, 
they sold, they planted, they 
builded ; 

29. But the same day that 
Lot went out of Sodom it 



100 



rained fire and brimstone from 
heaven, and destroyed them 
all. 

LUKE 17. 30. Even thus 
shall it be in the day when the 
Son of man is revealed. 

81. In that day, he which 
shall be upon the housetop, 
and his stuff in the house, let 
him not come down to take it 
away : and he that is in the 
field, let him likewise not re- 
turn back. 

32. Remember Lot's wife. 

33. Whosoever shall seek to 
save his life shall lose it ; and 
whosoever shall lose his life 
shall preserve it. 

34. I tell you, in that night 
there shall be two men in one 
bed ; the one shall be taken, 
and the other shall be left. 

35. Two women shall be 
grinding together; the one 
shall be taken, and the other 
left. 

36. Two men shall be in the 
field ; the one shall be taken, 
and the other left. 

37. And they answered and 
said unto him, Where, Lord? 
And he said unto them, Where- 
soever the body is, thither will 
the eagles be gathered to- 
gether. 

SECTION 48. 

LUKE 18. 1. And he spake 
a parable unto them to this 
end, that men ought always to 
pray, and not to faint ; 

2. Saying, There was in a 
city a judge, which feared not 
God, neither regarded man: 

3. And there was a widow 
in that city; and she came 



unto him, saying, Avenge me 
of mine adversary. 

4. And he would not for a 
while: but afterward he said 
within himself. Though I fear 
not God, nor regard man; 

5. Yet because this widow 
troubleth me, I will avenge her, 
lest by her continual coming 
she weary me. 

6. And the Lord said, Hear 
what the unjust judge saith, 

7. And shall not God 
avenge his own elect, which 
cry day and night unto him, 
though he bear long with 
them? 

8. I tell you that he will 
avenge them speedily. Never- 
theless when the Son of man 
Cometh, shall he find faith on 
the earth ? 

9. And he spake this parable 
unto certain which trusted in 
themselves that they were 
righteous, and despised others : 

10. Two men went up into 
the temple to pray; the one a 
Pharisee, and the other a pub- 
lican. 

11. The Pharisee stood and 
prayed thus with himself, God, 
I thank thee, that I am not as 
other men are, extortioners, 
unjust, adulterers, or even as 
this publican. 

12.1 fast twice in the week, I 
give tithes of all that I possess. 

13. And the publican, stand- 
ing afar off, would not lift up 
so much as his eyes unto heav- 
en, but smote upon his breast, 
saying, God be merciful to me 
a sinner. 

14. I tell you, this man went 
down to his house justified 
rather than the other: for 



101 



every one that exalteth him- 
self shall be abased ; and he 
that humbleth himself shall 
be exalted. 

SECTION 49. 

MATT. I 9. 3. The Phari- 
sees also came unto him, tempt- 
ing him, and saying unto him, 
Is it lawful for a man to put 
away his wife for every cause ? 

4. And he answered and 
said unto them, Have ye not 
read, that he which made them 
at the beginning made them 
male and female, 

5. And said, For this cause 
shall a man leave father and 
mother, and shall cleave to his 
wife : and they twain shall be 
one flesh? 

6. Wherefore they are no 
more twain but one flesh. 
What therefore God hath join- 
ed together, let not man put 
asunder. 

7. They say unto him, Why 
did Moses then command to 
give a writing of divorcement, 
and to put her away? 

8. He saithunto them, Moses 
because of the hardness of 
your hearts suffered you to put 
away your wives : but from the 
beginning it was not so. 

9. And I say unto you, 
Whosoever shall put away 
his wife, except it be for for- 
nication, and shall marry an- 
other, committeth adultery : 
and whoso marrieth her which 
is put away doth commit adul- 
tery. 

MARK 10. 12. And if a 

woman shall put away her 
husband, and be married to 



another, she committeth adul- 
tery. 

MATT. 19. 10. His dis- 
ciples say unto him, If the 
case of the man be so with his 
wife, it is not good to marry. 

^11. But he said unto them, 
All men cannot receive this 
saying, save they to whom it 
is given. 

12. For there are some 
eunuchs, which were so born 
from their mother's womb : 
and there are some eunuchs, 
which were made eunuchs of 
men : and there be eunuchs, 
which have made themselves 
eunuchs for the kingdom of 
heaven's sake. He that is 
able to receive it, let him re- 
ceive it. 

MARK 10. 13. And they 
brought young children to 
him, that he should touch 
them : 

MATT. 19. 13. Put his 

hands on them, and pray : 
MARK 10. 13. And his dis- 
ciples rebuked those that 
brought them. 

14. But when Jesus saw it, 
he was much displeased, and 
said unto them, Suffer the lit- 
tle children to come unto me, 
and forbid them not : for of 
such is the kingdom of God. 

15. Verily I say unto you, 
Whosoever shall not receive 
the kingdom of God as a lit- 
tle child, he shall not enter 
therein. 

16. And he took them up in 
his arms, put his hands upon 
them, and blessed them. 

17. And when he was gone 
forth into the way, there came 
one running, 



102 



LUKE 18. 18. A certain 
ruler, 

MARK 10. 17. And kneeled 
to him, and asked him, Good 
master, what shall I do that I 
may inherit eternal life ? 

18. And Jesus said unto 
him. Why callest thou me 
good ? There is none good 
but one, that is, God. 

19. Thou knowest the com- 
mandments. Do not commit 
adultery. Do not kill. Do not 
steal. Do not bear false wit- 
ness, Defraud not. Honour thy 
father and mother, 
MATT. 19. 19. And, Thou 
shalt love thy neighbour as 
thyself. 

MARK 10. 20. And he an- 
swered and said unto him. 
Master, all these things hare 
I observed from my youth. 
MATT. I 9. 20, Wnat lack 
I yet? 

MARK 10. 21. Then Jesus 
beholding him loved him, and 
said unto him. One thing thou 
lackest : go thy way, sell 
whatsoever thou hast, and give 
to the poor, and thou shalt 
have treasure in heaven : and 
come, take up the cross, and 
follow me. 

22. And 
MATT. 19. 22. The young 
man 

MARK 10. 22. Was sad at 

that saying, and went away 
grieved : for he had great pos- 
sessions. 

LUKE 18. 24. And when Je- 
sus saw that he was very sor- 
rowful, he 

M A R K 1 0 . 23 . Looked round 
about, and saith unto his dis- 
ciples, How hardly shall they 



that have riches enter into the 
kingdom of God ! 

24. And the disciples were 
astonished at his words. But 
Jesus answereth again, and 
saith unto them, Children, 
how hard it is for them that 
trust in riches to enter into 
the kingdom of God ! 

25. It is easier for a camel 
to go through the eye of a 
needle, than for a rich man to 
enter into the kingdom of 
God. 

26. And they were aston- 
ished out of measure, saying 
among themselves. Who then 
can be saved? 

27. And Jesus looking upon 
them saith. With men it is im- 
possible, but not with God : for 
with God all things are pos- 
sible. 

MATT. 19. 27. Then an- 
swered Peter and said unto 
him, Behold, we have for- 
saken all, and followed thee ; 
what shall we have therefore? 

28. And Jesus said unto 
them, Verily I say unto you, 
that ye which have followed 
me, in the regeneration when 
the Son of man shall sit in the 
throne of his glory, ye also 
shall sit upon twelve thrones, 
judging the twelve tribes of 
Israel. 

29. And every one that 
hath forsaken houses, or breth- 
ren, or sisters, or father, or 
mother, or wife, or children, or 
lands, for my name's sake, shall 
receive an hundred fold, 
MARK 10. 30. Now in this 
time, houses, and brethren, 
and sisters, and mothers, and 
children, and lands, with per- 



103 



secutions ; and in the world to 
come eternal life. 
MARK 10. 31. But many 
that are first shall be last ; and 
the last first. 

SECTION BO. 

MATT. 20. 1. For the king- 
dom of heaven is like unto a 
man that is an householder, 
which went out early in the 
morning to hire labourers into 
his vineyard. 

2. And when he had agreed 
with the labourers for a penny 
a day, he sent them into his 
vineyard. 

3. And he went out about 
the third hour, and saw others 
standing idle in the market 
place, 

4. And said unto them : Go 
ye also into the vineyard, and 
whatsoever is right I will give 
you. And they went their 
way. 

5. Again he went out about 
the sixth and ninth hour, and 
did likewise. 

6. And about the eleventh 
hour he went out, and found 
others standing idle, and saith 
unto them. Why stand ye here 
all the day idle ? 

7. They say unto him, Be- 
cause no man hath hired us. 
He saith unto them, Go ye 
also into the vineyard ; and 
whatsoever is right, that shall 
ye receive. 

8. So when even was come, 
the lord of the vineyard saith 
unto his steward. Call the la- 
bourers, and give them their 
hire, beginning from the last 
unto the first. 



9. And when they came 
that were hired about the 
eleventh hour, they received 
every man a penny. 

10. But when the first came, 
they supposed that they should 
have received more ; and they 
likewise received every man a 
penny. 

11. And when they had re- 
ceived it, they murmured 
against the goodman of the 
house, 

12. Saying, These last have 
wrought but one hour, and 
thou hast made them equal 
unto us, which have borne 
the burden and heat of the 
day, 

13. But he answered one of 
them, and said. Friend, I do 
thee no wrong : didst not thou 
agree with me for a penny ? 

14. Take that thine is, and 
go thy way : I will give unto 
this last, even as unto thee. 

15. Is it not lawful for me 
to do what I will with mine 
own? Is thine eye evil, be- 
cause I am good ? 

16. So the last shall be first, 
and the first last : for many be 
called, but few chosen. 
MARK 10. 32. And they 
were in the way going up to 
Jerusalem ; and Jesus went 
before them : and they were 
amazed ; and as they followed, 
they were afraid. And he 
took again the twelve, and be- 
gan to tell them what things 
should happen unto him, 

33. Saying, 
LUKE 18. 31. All things 
that are written by the proph- 
ets concerning the Son of man 
shall be accomplished. 



104 



MARK 10. 33. Behold, we 
go up to J erusalem ; and the 
Son of man shall be delivered 
unto the chief priests, and 
unto the scribes ; and they 
shall condemn him to death, 
and shall deliver him to the 
Gentiles : 

34. And they shall mock 
him, and shall scourge him, 
and shall spit upon him, and 
shall kill him : and the third 
day he shall rise again. 
LUKE 18. 34. And they 
understood none of these 
things : and this saying was 
hid from them, neither knew 
they the things which were 
spoken. 

MATT. 20. 20. Then came 
to him the mother of Zebe- 
dee's children with her sons, 
MARK 10. 35. James and 
John, 

MATT. 20. 20. Worship- 
ping him, and desiring a cer- 
tain thing of him, 

21. And he said unto her, 
What wilt thou? She saith 
unto him. Grant that these 
my two sons may sit, the one 
on thy right hand, and the 
other on the left, in thy king- 
dom. 

22. But Jesus answered 
and said. Ye know not what 
ye ask. Are ye able to drink 
of the cup that I shall drink 
of, and to be baptized with 
the baptism that I am bap- 
tized with? They say unto 
him, We are able. 

23. And he saith unto them, 
Ye shall drink indeed of my 
cup, and be baptized with 
the baptism that I am bap- 
tized with; but to sit on my 



right hand and on my left, 
is not mine to give, but it 
shall be given to them for 
whom it is prepared of my 
Father. 

24. And when the ten 
heard it, they were moved 
with indignation against the 
two brethren. 

25. But Jesus called them 
unto him, and said, Ye know 
that the princes of the Gen- 
tiles exercise dominion over 
them, and they that are great 
exercise authority upon them. 

26. But it shall not be so 
among you : but whosoever 
will be great among you, let 
him be your minister ; 

27. And whosoever will be 
chief among you, let him be 
your servant. 

28. Even as the Son of man 
came not to be ministered 
unto, but to minister, and to 
give his life a ransom for 
manv. 

MARK 10. 46. And they 
came to Jericho : and as he 
went out of Jericho with his 
disciples and a great number 
of people, blind Bartimseus, 
the son of Timaeus, sat by the 
highway side begging, 

47. And when he heard 
that it was Jesus of Nazareth, 
he began to cry out, and say, 
Jesus, thou son of David, 
have mercy on me. 

48. And many charged him 
that he should hold his peace : 
but he cried the more a great 
deal. Thou son of David, have 
mercy on me. 

49. And Jesus stood still, 
and commanded him to be 
called. And they called the 



105 



blind man, saying unto him, 
Be of good comfort, rise ; he 
calleth thee. 

MARK 10. 50. And he, cast- 
ing away his garment, rose, 
and came to Jesus. 

51. And Jesus answered and 
said unto him, What wilt thou 
that I should do unto thee? 
The blind man said unto him, 
Lord, that I might receive my 
sight. 

52. And Jesus said unto him, 
Go thy way; thy faith hath 
made thee whole. And imme- 
diately he received his sight, 
and followed Jesus in the way. 
LUKE 18. 43. Glorifying 
God : and all the people when 
they saw it, gave praise to God. 

SECTION 51. 

LUKE 19. 2. And, behold, 
there was a man named Zac- 
chseus, which was the chief 
among the publicans, and he 
was rich. 

3. And he sought to see Jesus 
who he was; and could not for 
the press, because he was little 
of stature. 

4. And he ran before, and 
climbed up into a sycomore 
tree to see him : for he was to 
pass that way. 

5. And when Jesus came to 
the place, he looked up, and 
saw him, and said unto him, 
Zacchseus, make haste, and 
come down ; for to day I must 
abide at thy house. 

6. And he made haste, and 
came down, and received him 
joyfully. 

7. And when they saw it, 
they all murmured, saying. 



That he was gone to be guest 
with a man that is a sinner. 

8. And Zacchseus stood, and 
said unto the Lord; Behold, 
Lord, the half of my goods I 
give to the poor ; and if I have 
taken anything from any man 
by false accusation, I restore 
him fourfold. 

9. And Jesus said unto him. 
This day is salvation come to 
this house, forsomuch as he 
also is a son of Abraham. 

10. For the Son of man is 
come to seek and to save that 
which was lost. 

11. And as they heard these 
things, he added and spake a 
parable, because he was nigh 
to Jerusalem, and because they 
thought that the kingdom of 
God should immediately ap- 
pear. 

12. He said therefore, A cer- 
tain nobleman went into a far 
country to receive for himself 
a kingdom, and to return. 

13. Andhecalledhis ten serv- 
ants, and delivered them ten 
pounds, and said unto them. 
Occupy till I come. 

14. But his citizens hated 
him, and sent a message after 
him, saying. We will not have 
this man to reign over us. 

15. And it came to pass, that 
when he was returned, having 
received the kingdom, then he 
commanded these servants to 
be called unto him, to whom 
he had given the money, that 
he might know how much every 
man had gained by trading. 

16. Then came the first, say- 
ing, Lord, thy pound hath 
gained ten pounds. 

17. And he said unto him, 



106 



Well, thou good servant : be- 
cause thou hast been faithful 
in a very little, have thou 
authority over ten cities. 
LUKE 19. 18. And the 
second came, sayings Lord, 
thy pound hath gained five 
pounds. 

19. And he said likewise to 
him. Be thou also over five 
cities. 

' 20. And another came, say- 
ing, Lord, behold, here is thy 
pound, which I have kept laid 
up in a napkin : 

21. For I feared thee, be- 
cause thou art an austere man : 
thou takest up that thou lay- 
edst not down, and reapest 
that thou didst not sow. 

22. And he saith unto him, 
Out of thine own mouth will I 
judge thee, thou wicked serv- 
ant. Thou knewest that I was 
an austere man, taking up that 
I laid not down, and reaping 
that I did not sow : 

23. Wherefore then gavest 
not thou my money into the 
bank, that at my coming I 
might have required mine 
own with usury ? 

24. And he said unto them 
that stood by, Take from him 
the pound, and give it to him 
that hath ten pounds. 

25. (And they said unto him, 
Lord, he hath ten pounds.) 

26. For I say unto you. That 
unto every one which hath 
shall be given ; and from him 
that hath not, even that he 
hath shall be taken away from 
him. 

27. But those mine enemies, 
which would not that I should 



reign over them, bring hither, 
and slay them before me. 
JOHN II. 55. AndtheJews^ 
passover was nigh at hand : 
and many went out of the 
country up to Jerusalem be- 
fore the passover, to purify 
themselves. 

56. Then sought they for i 
J esus, and spake among them- ' 
selves, as they stood in the 1 
temple, What think ye, that 

he will not come to the feast ? 

57. Now both the chief 
priests and the Pharisees had 
given a commandment, that, 
if any man knew where he 
were, he should shew it, that 
they might take him. 
JOHN 12. 1. Then Jesus 
six days before the passover 
came to Bethany, where Laza- 
rus was which had been dead, 
whom he raised from the dead. ^ 
MARK 14. 3. And being in I 
Bethany in the house of Simon 
the leper, 

JOHN 12. 2. There they 
made him a supper ; and Mar- 
tha served ; but Lazarus was 
one of them that sat at the 
table with him. 

3. Then took Mary l 
MARK 14. 3. An alabas- 
ter box of 

JOHN 12. 3. A pound of 
ointment of spikenard, very 
costly, and anointed the feet 
of Jesus, and wiped his feet 
with her hair : and the house 
was filled with the odour of 
the ointment. 

MARK 14. 4. And there were 
some that had indignation 
within themselves. 



107 



JOHN 12. 4. Then saith one 
of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, 
Simon's son, which should be- 
tray him, 

5. Why was not this oint- 
ment sold for three hundred 
pence, and given to the poor ? 

6. This he said, not that he 
cared for the poor : but because 
he was a thief, and had the 
bag, and bare what was put 
therein. 

7. Then said Jesus, Let her 
alone : 

MARK 14. 6. Why trouble 
ye her ? She hath wrought a 
good work on me. 

8. She hath done what she 
could : 

JOHN 12. 7. Against the 
day of my burying hath she 
kept this. 

8. For the poor always ye 
have with you : but me ye 
have not always. 
MARK 14. 9. Verily I say 
unto you. Wheresoever this 
gospel shall be preached 
throughout the whole world, 
this also that she hath done 
shall be spoken of for a memo- 
rial of her. 

JOHN 12. 9. Much people 
of the Jews therefore knew 
that he was there: and they 
came not for Jesus' sake only, 
but that they might see Laza- 
rus also, whom he had raised 
from the dead. 

10. But the chief priests 
consulted that they might put 
Lazarus also to death ; 

11. Because that by reason 
of him many of the Jews went 
away, and believed on Jesus. 

12. On the next day much 
people that were come to the 



feast, when they heard that Je- 
sus was coming to Jerusalem, 
13. Took branches of palm 
trees, and went forth to meet 
him, and cried, Hosanna : 
Blessed is the king of Israel 
that Cometh in the name of the 
Lord. 

SECTION 52. 

MATT. 2L 1. And when 
they drew nigh unto Jerusa- 
lem, and were come to Beth- 
phage, unto the mount of 
Olives, then sent Jesus two 
disciples, 

2. Saying unto them, Go into 
the village over against you, 
and straightway ye shall find 
an ass tied, and a colt with 
her: loose them,and bringthem 
unto me. 

3. And if any man say ought 
unto you, ye shall say, The 
Lord hath need of them; and 
straightway he will send them. 

4. All this was done, that 
it might be fulfilled which 
was spoken by the prophet, 
saying, 

5. Tell ye the daughter of 
Zion, Behold, thy king cometh 
unto thee, meek, and sitting 
upon an ass, and a colt, the 
foal of an ass. 

6. And the disciples went, 
and did as Jesus commanded 
them, 

MARK I I. 4. And found 
the colt tied by the door with- 
out in a place where two ways 
met ; and they loose him. 

5. And certain of them that 
stood there said unto them, 
What do ye, loosing the colt? 

6. And they said unto them 



108 



even as Jesus had commanded: 
and they let them go. 
MATT. 21. 7. And brought 
the ass and the colt, and put 
on them their clothes, and 
they set him thereon. 

8. And a very great multi- 
tude spread their garments in 
the way; others cut down 
branches from the trees, and 
strawed them in the way. 

9. And the multitudes that 
went before, and that followed, 
cried, saying, Hosanna to the 
Son of David : Blessed is he 
that Cometh in the name of the 
Lord ; Hosanna in the highest. 
LUKE 19. 37. And when he 
was come nigh, even now at 
the descent of the mount of 
Olives, the whole multitude of 
the disciples began to rejoice 
and praise God with a loud 
voice for all the mighty works 
that they had seen ; 

38. Saying, Blessed be the 
king that cometh in the name 
of the Lord : peace in heaven, 
and glory in the highest. 
JOHN 12, 16. These things 
understood not his disciples at 
the first: but when Jesus was 
glorified, then remembered 
they that these things were 
written of him, and that they 
had done these things unto 
him. 

17. The people therefore 
that was with him when he 
called Lazarus out of his 
grave, and raised him from 
the dead, bare record, 

18. For this cause the peo- 
ple also met him, for that they 
had heard that he had done 
this miracle. 

19. The Pharisees therefore 



said among themselves, Per- 
ceive ye how ye prevail noth- 
ing ? behold, the world is gone 
after him. 

LUKE 19. 39. And some of 
the Pharisees from among the 
multitude said unto him, Mas- 
ter, rebuke thy disciples. 

40. And he answered and ! 
said unto them, I tell you that, 

if these should hold their ' 
peace, the stones would im- 
mediately cry out. 

41. And when he was come 
near, he beheld the city, and 
wept over it, 

42. Saying, If thou hadst 
known, even thou, at least in 
this thy day, the things which 
belong unto thy peace ! but ^ 
now they are hid from thine i 
eyes. 

43. For the days shall come 
upon thee, that thine enemies 
shall cast a trench about thee, j 
and compass thee round, and 
keep thee in on every side, 

44. And shall lay thee even 
with the ground, and thy \ 
children within thee; and they \ 
shall not leave in thee one ; 
stone upon another ; because I 
thou knewest not the time of ' 
thy visitation. 

MATT. 2 L 10. And when 
he was come into Jerusalem, 
all the city was moved, say- 
ing, Who is this? 

11. And the multitude said, ; j 
This is Jesus the prophet of J 
Nazareth of Galilee. 
MARK II. 11. And Jesus 
entered into Jerusalem, and 
into the temple : and when he 
had looked round about upon 
all things, and now the even- 



109 



tide was come, he went out 
unto Bethany with the twelve. 
MARK I I. 12. And on the 
morrow, when thej were come 
from Bethany, he was hungry : 

13. And seeing a fig tree 
afar off having leaves, he 
came, if haply he might find 
anything thereon : and when 
he came to it, he found noth- 
ing but leaves ; for the time 
of figs was not yet. 

14. And Jesus answered 
and said unto it. No man eat 
fruit of thee hereafter for 
ever. And his disciples heard 
it. 

15. And they come to Je- 
rusalem : and Jesus went into 
the temple, and began to cast 
out them that sold and bought 
in the temple, and overthrew 
the tables of the money- 
changers, and the seats of 
them that sold doves ; 

16. And would not suffer 
that any man should carry any 
vessel through the temple. 

17. And he taught, saying 
unto them, Is it not written. 
My house shall be called of 
all nations the house of 
prayer? but ye have made it a 
den of thieves. 

MATT. 21. 14. And the 
blind and the lame came to 
him in the temple ; and he 
healed them. 

15. And when the chief 
priests and scribes saw the 
wonderful things that he did, 
and the children crying in the 
temple, and saying, Hosanna 
to the son of David ; they 
were sore displeased. 



MARK II. 18. And sought 
how they might destroy him; 
for they feared him, because 
all the people was astonished 
at his doctrine. 
MATT. 2 1. 16. And said 
unto him, Hearest thou what 
these say? and Jesus saith 
unto them. Yea ; have ye never 
read. Out of the mouth of 
babes and sucklings thou hast 
perfected praise ? 

17. And he left them, and 
went out of the city into 
Bethany ; and he lodged there. 
MARK 1 I . 20. And in the 
morning, as they passed by, 
they saw the fig tree dried up 
from the roots. 

21. And Peter calling to 
remembrance saith unto him, 
Master, behold, the fig tree 
which thou cursedst is with- 
ered away. 

22. And Jesus answering 
saith unto them, Have faith 
in God. 

23. For verily I say unto you, 
That whosoever shall say unto 
this mountain. Be thou re- 
moved, and be thou cast into 
the sea ; and shall not doubt 
in his heart, but shall believe 
that those things which he 
saith shall come to pass ; he 
shall have whatsoever he 
saith. 

24. Therefore I say unto 
you. What things soever ye 
desire, when ye pray, believe 
that ye receive them, and ye 
shall have them. 

25., And when ye stand 
praying, forgive, if ye have 
ought against any : that your 
Father also which is in heaven 



110 



may forgive you your tres- 
passes* 

MARK !l. 26. But if ye do 

not forgive, neither will your 
Father which is in heaven for- 
give your trespasses. 

27. And they come again to 
J erusalem : 

MATT, 2 I. 23. And when 
he was come into the temple, 
the chief priests and the el- 
ders of the people came unto 
him as he was teaching, and 
said, By what authority doest 
thou these things? and who 
gave thee this authority? 

24. And Jesus answered 
and said unto them, I also will 
ask you one thing, which if 
ye tell me, I in likewise will 
tell you by what authority I do 
these things. 

25. The baptism of John, 
whence was it? from heaven, 
or of men ? And they rea- 
soned with themselves, say- 
ing. If we shall say, From 
heaven ; he will say unto us, 
Why did ye not then believe 
him? 

26. But if we shall say, Of 
men ; we fear the people ; for 
all hold John as a prophet. 

27. And they answered Je- 
sus, and said, We cannot tell. 
And he said unto them, Nei- 
ther tell I you by what au- 
thority I do these things. 

28. But what think ye? A 
certain man had two sons ; 
and he came to the first, and 
said. Son, go work to day in 
my vineyard. 

29. He answered and said, 
I will not : but afterward he 
repented, and went. 

30. And he came to the sec- 



ond, and said likewise. And 
he answered and said, I go, 
sir : and went not. 

31. Whether of them twain 
did the will of his father? 
They say unto him. The first. 
Jesus saith unto them. Verily 
I say unto you. That the pub- 
licans and the harlots go into 
the kingdom of God before 
you. 

32. For John came unto 
you in the way of righteous- 
ness, and ye believed him not : 
but the publicans and the har- 
lots believed him : and ye, 
when ye had seen it, repented 
not afterward, that ye might 
believe him. 

SECTION 53. 

MARK i2. 1. And he began 
to speak unto them by para- 
bles. A certain man planted 
a vineyard, and set an hedge 
about it, and digged a place 
for the winefat, and built a 
tower, and let it out to hus- 
bandmen, and went into a far 
country. 

2. And at the season he 
sent to the husbandmen a 
servant, that he might receive 
from the husbandmen of the 
fruit of the vineyard. 

3. And they caught him, 
and beat him, and sent him 
away empty. 

4. And again he sent unto 
them another servant ; and at 
him they cast stones, and 
wounded him in the head, and 
sent him away shamefully 
handled. 

5. And again he sent an- 
other; and him they killed, 



Ill 



and many others ; beating 
some, and killing some. 
MARK 12. 6. Having yet 
therefore one son, his wellbe- 
loved, he sent him also last 
unto them, saying, They will 
reverence my son. 

7. But those husbandmen 
said among themselves, This 
is the heir ; come, let us kill 
him, and the inheritance shall 
be our's. 

8. And they took him, and 
killed him, and cast him out 
of the vineyard. 

9. What shall therefore the 
lord of the vineyard do ? 
MATT. 21. 41. They say 
unto him, He will miserably 
destroy those wicked men, 
and will let out his vineyard 
unto other husbandmen, which 
shall render him the fruits in 
their seasons. 

42. Jesus saith unto them, 
Did ye never read in the 
scriptures, The stone which 
the builders rejected, the same 
is become the head of the 
corner : this is the Lord's do- 
ing, and it is marvellous in 
our eyes ? 

43. Therefore say I unto 
you, The kingdom of God 
shall be taken from you, and 
given to a nation bringing 
forth the fruits thereof. 

44. And whosoever shall 
fall on this stone shall be 
broken : but on whomsoever 
it shall fall, it will grind him 
to powder. 

45. And when the chief 
priests and Pharisees had 
heard his parables, they per- 
ceived that he spake of them. 

46. But when they sought 



to lay hands on him, they 
feared the multitude, because 
they took him for a prophet. 
MARK 12. 12. And they 
left him, and went their way. 

SECTION B4. 

MATT. 22. 1. And Jesus 
answered and spake unto them 
again by parables, and said, 

2. The kingdom of heaven 
is like unto a certain king, 
which made a marriage for 
his son, 

3. And sent forth his serv- 
ants to call them that were 
bidden to the wedding : and 
they would not come. 

4. Again, he sent forth other 
servants, saying. Tell them 
which are bidden. Behold, I 
have prepared my dinner : my 
oxenandmy fatlingsare killed, 
and all things are ready : come 
unto the marriage. 

5. But they made light of 
it, and went their ways, one 
to his farm, another to his 
merchandise : 

6. And the remnant took 
his servants, and entreated 
them spitefully, and slew 
them. 

7. But when the king heard 
thereof, he was wroth ; and he 
sent forth his armies, and de- 
stroyed those murderers, and 
burned up their city. 

8. Then saith he to his 
servants, The wedding is 
ready, but they which were 
bidden were not worthy. 

9. Go ye therefore into the 
highways, and as many as ye 
shall find, bid to the mar- 
riage. 



112 



MATT. 22. 10. So those 
servants went out into the 
highways, and gathered to- 
gether all as many as they 
found, both bad and good: 
and the wedding was furnish- 
ed with guests. 

11. And when the king 
came in to see the guests, he 
saw there a man which had 
not on a wedding garment. 

12. And he saith unto him, 
Friend, how camest thou in 
hither not having a wedding 
garment ? And he was speech- 
less. 

13. Then said the king to 
the servants. Bind him hand 
and foot, and take him away, 
and cast him into outer dark- 
ness ; there shall be weeping 
and gnashing of teeth. 

14. For many are called, but 
few are chosen. 

15. Then went the Phar- 
isees, and took counsel how 
they might entangle him in 
his talk. 

16. And they sent out unto 
him their disciples with the 
Herodians, 

LUKE 20. 20. Spies, which 
should feign themselves just 
men, that they might take 
hold of his words, that so they 
might deliver him unto the 
power and authority of the 
governor. 

MATT. 22. 16. Saying, 
Master, we know that thou 
art true, and teachest the way 
of God in truth, neither carest 
thou for any man : for thou 
regardest not the person of 
men. 

17. Tell us therefore. What 
thinkest thou? Is it lawful 



to give tribute unto Csesar, or 

not? 

MARK 12. 15. Shall we 
give, or shall we not give ? 
MATT. 22. 18. But Jesus 
perceived their wickedness, 
and said, Why tempt ye me, 
ye hypocrites ? 

19. Shew me the tribute 
money. And they brought 
unto him a penny. 

20. And he saith unto them, 
Whose is this image and su- 
perscription ? 

21. They say unto him, 
Caesar's. Then saith he unto 
them, Eender therefore unto 
Csesar the things which are 
Csesar^s ; and unto God the 
things that are God's. 
LUKE 20. 26. And they 
could not take hold of his 
words before the people : and 
they marvelled at his answer, 
and held their peace. 
MATT. 22. 22. And left 
him, and went their way. 
LUKE 20. 27. Then came 
to him certain of the Saddu- 
cees, which deny that there is 
any resurrection ; and they 
asked him, 

28. Saying, Master, Moses 
wrote unto us, If any man's 
brother die, having a wife, 
and he die without children, 
that his brother should take 
his wife, and raise up seed 
unto his brother. 

29. There were therefore 
seven brethren : and the first 
took a wife, and died without 
children. 

30. And the second took 
her to wife, and he died child- 
less. 

31. And the third took her j 



113 



and in like manner the seven 
also: and they left no chil- 
dren, and died. 
LUKE 20. 32. Last of all 
the woman died also. 

33. Therefore in the resur- 
rection whose wife of them is 
she? for seven had her to 
wife. 

MATT. 22. 29. Jesus an- 
swered and said unto them, 
Ye do err, not knowing the 
scriptures, nor the power of 
God. 

LUKE 20. 34. The children 
of this world marry, and are 
given in marriage : 

35. But they which shall be 
accounted worthy to obtain 
that world, and the resurrec- 
tion from the dead, neither 
marry, nor are given in mar- 
riage : 

36. Neither can they die 
any more : for they are equal 
unto the angels ; and are the 
children of God, being the 
children of the resurrection. 

37. Now that the dead are 
raised, even Moses shewed at 
the bush, when he calleth the 
Lord the God of Abraham, 
and the God of Isaac, and the 
God of J acob. 

38. For he is not a God of 
the dead, but of the living : 
for all live unto him. 

39. Then certain of the 
scribes answering said. Mas- 
ter, thou hast well said, 

40. And after that they 
durst not ask him any ques- 
tion at all : 

MATT. 22 . 33. And when 
the multitude heard this, they 
were astonished at his doc- 
trine. 



MARK 12. 28. And one of 

the scribes came, and having 
heard them reasoning to- 
gether, and perceiving that he 
had answered them well, 
asked him, Which is the first 
commandment of all ? 

29. And Jesus answered 
him, The first of all the com- 
mandments is. Hear, O Israel ; 
The Lord our God is one 
Lord : 

30. And thou shalt love the 
Lord thy God with all thy 
heart, and with all thy soul, 
and with all thy mind, and 
with all thy strength : this is 
the first commandment. 

31. And the second is like, 
namely this, Thou shalt love 
thy neighbour as thyself. There 
is none other commandment 
greater than these. 
MATT. 22. 40. On these 
two commandments hang all 
the law and the prophets. 
MARK I 2. 32. And the 
scribe said unto him. Well, 
Master, thou hast said the 
truth : for there is one God ; 
and there is none other but 
he: 

33. And to love him with 
all the heart, and with all the 
understanding, and with all 
the soul, and with all the 
strength, and to love his 
neighbour as himself, is more 
than all whole burnt offerings 
and sacrifices. 

34. And when Jesus saw 
that he answered discreetly, 
he said unto him, Thou art 
not far from the kingdom of 
God. And no man after that 
durst ask him any question. 



114 



MATT. 22. 41. While the 
Pharisees were gathered to- 
gether, Jesus asked them, 

42. Saying, What think ye 
of Christ? whose son is he? 
They say unto him, The son 
of David. 

43. He saith unto them, 
How then doth David in 
spirit call him Lord, saying, 

44. The Lord said unto my 
Lord, Sit thou on my right 
hand, till I make thine ene- 
mies thy footstool ? 

45. If David then call him 
Lord, how is he his son? 

46. And no man was able 
to answer him a word, neither 
durst any man from that day 
forth ask him any more ques- 
tions. 

MARK 12. 37. And the com- 
mon people heard him gladly. 
LUKE 20. 45. Then in the 
audience of all the people he 
said unto his disciples, 

46. Beware of the scribes, 
which desire to walk in long 
robes, and love greetings in 
the markets, and the highest 
seats in the synagogues, and 
the chief rooms at feasts ; 

47. Which devour widows' 
houses, and for a shew make 
long prayers : the same shall 
receive greater damnation. 

SECTION SB. 

MATT. 23. 1. Then spake 
Jesus to the multitude, and 
to his disciples, 

2. Saying, The scribes and 
the Pharisees sit in Moses' 
seat : 

3. All therefore whatsoever 
they bid you observe, that ob- 



serve and do ; but do not ye 
after their works : for they 
say, and do not. 

4. For they bind heavy 
burdens and grievous to be 
borne, and lay them on men's 
shoulders ; but they them- 
selves will not move them 
with one of their fingers. 

5. But all their works they 
do for to be seen of men : 
they make broad their phy- 
lacteries, and enlarge the bor- 
ders of their garments, 

6. And love the uppermost 
rooms at feasts, and the chief 
seats in the synagogues, 

7. And greetings in the mar- 
kets, and to be called of men, 
Kabbi, Eabbi. 

8. But be not ye called 
Eabbi : for one is your Master, 
even Christ ; and all ye are 
brethren. 

9. And call no man your 
father upon the earth : for 
one is your Father, which is in 
heaven. 

10. Neither be ye called 
masters : for one is your Mas- 
ter, even Christ. 

11. But he that is greatest 
among you shall be your serv- 
ant. 

12. And whosoever shall ex- 
alt himself shall be abased ; 
and he that shall humble him- 
self shall be exalted. 

13. But woe unto you, 
scribes and Pharisees, hypo- 
crites! for ye shut up the 
kingdom of heaven against 
men : for ye neither go in 
yourselves, neither suffer ye 
them that are entering to go 
in. 

14. Woe unto you, scribes 



115 



and Pharisees, hypocrites I for 
ye devour widows' houses, and 
for a pretence make long 
prayer : therefore ye shall re- 
ceive the greater damnation. 
MATT. 23. 15. Woe unto 
you, scribes and Pharisees, 
hypocrites ! for ye compass sea 
and land to make one prose- 
lyte, and when he is made, ye 
make him twofold more the 
child of hell than yourselves. 

16. Woe unto you, ye blind 
guides, which say. Whosoever 
shall swear by the temple, it 
is nothing ; but whosoever 
shall swear by the gold of the 
temple, he is a debtor ! 

17. Ye fools and blind : for 
whether is greater, the gold, 
or the temple that sanctifieth 
the gold ? 

18. And, Whosoever shall 
swear by the altar, it is noth- 
ing ; but whosoever sweareth 
by the gift that is upon it, 
he is guilty. 

19. Ye fools and blind : for 
whether is greater, the gift, or 
the altar that sanctifieth the 
gift? 

20. Whoso therefore shall 
swear by the altar, sweareth 
by it, and by all things there- 
on. 

21. And whoso shall swear 
by the temple, sweareth by it, 
and by him that dwelleth 
therein. 

22. And he that shall swear 
by heaven, sweareth by the 
throne of God, and by him 
that sitteth thereon. 

23*. Woe unto you, scribes 
and Pharisees, hypocrites ! 
for ye pay tithe of mint and 
anise and cummin, and have 



omitted the weightier matters 
of the law, judgment, mercy, 
and faith : these ought ye to 
have done, and not to leave 
the other undone. 

24. Ye blind guides, which 
strain at a gnat, and swallow a 
camel. 

25. Woe unto you, scribes 
and Pharisees, hypocrites! for 
ye make clean the outside of 
the cup and of the platter, but 
within they are full of extor- 
tion and excess. 

26. Thou blind Pharisee, 
cleanse first that which is 
within the cup and platter, that 
the outside of them may be 
clean also. 

27. Woe unto you, scribes 
and Pharisees, hypocrites! 
for ye are like unto whited 
sepulchres, which indeed ap- 
pear beautiful outward, but are 
within full of dead men's 
bones, and of all uncleanness. 

28. Even so ye also out- 
wardly appear righteous unto 
men, but within ye are full of 
hypocrisy and iniquity. 

29. Woe unto you, scribes 
and Pharisees, hypocrites! 
because ye build the tombs of 
the prophets, and garnish the 
sepulchres of the righteous, 

30. And say, If we had been 
in the days of our fathers, we 
would not have been partakers 
with them in the blood of the 
prophets. 

31. Wherefore ye be wit- 
nesses unto yourselves, that 
ye are the children of them 
which killed the prophets. 

32. Fill ye up then the meas- 
ure of your fathers. 



116 



MATT. 23. 33. Ye serpents, 
ye generation of vipers, how 
can ye escape the damnation 
of hell? 

34. Wherefore, behold, I 
send unto you prophets, and 
wise men, and scribes: and 
some of them ye shall kill 
and crucify ; and some of them 
shall ye scourge in your syna- 
gogues, and persecute them 
from city to city : 

35. That upon you may 
come all the righteous blood 
shed upon the earth, from the 
blood of righteous Abel unto 
the blood of Zacharias son of 
Barachias, whom ye slew be- 
tween the temple and the altar. 

36. Verily I say unto you, 
All these things shall come 
upon this generation. 

37. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, 
thou that killest the prophets, 
and stonest them which are 
sent unto thee, how often 
would I have gathered thy 
children together, even as a hen 
gathereth her chickens under 
her wings, and ye would not I 

38. Behold, your house is 
left unto you desolate. 

39. For I say unto you. Ye 
shall not see me henceforth, 
till ye shall say, Blessed is he 
that Cometh in the name of 
the Lord. 

MARK 12. 41. And Jesus 
sat over against the treasury, 
and beheld how the people 
cast money into the treasury : 
and many that were rich cast 
in much. 

42. And there came a cer- 
tain poor widow, and she 
threw in two mites, which 
make a farthing. 



43. And he called unto him 
his disciples, and saith unto 
them, Verily I say unto you, 
That this poor widow hath 
cast more in, than all they 
which have cast into the treas- 
ury : 

44. For all they did cast in 
of their abundance ; • but she 
of her v/ant did cast in all that 
she had, even all her living. 

SECTION 56. 

JOHN 12. 20. And there 
were certain Greeks among 
them that came up to worship 
at the feast : 

21. The same came there- 
fore to Philip, which was of 
Bethsaida of Galilee, and 
desired him, saying, Sir, we 
would see Jesus. 

22. Philip cometh and tell- 
eth Andrew : and again An- 
drew and Philip tell Jesus. 

23. And Jesus answered 
them, saying,The hour is come, 
that the Son of man should be 
glorified. 

24. Verily, verily, I say unto 
you. Except a corn of wheat 
fall into the ground and die, 
it abideth alone : but if it die, 
it bringeth forth much fruit. 

25. He that loveth his life 
shall lose it ; and he that 
hateth his life in this world 
shall keep it unto life eternal. 

26. If any man serve me, let 
him follow me ; and where I 
am, there shall also my serv- 
ant be: if any man serve me, 
him will my Father honour. 

27. Now is my soul troubled ; 
and what shall I say ? Father, 
save me from this hour: but 



117 



for this cause came I unto 
this hour. 

JOHN 12. 28. Father, glori- 
fy thy name. Then came 
there a voice from heaven, 
saying, I have glorified it, and 
will glorify it again. 

29. The people therefore, 
that stood by, and heard it, 
said that it thundered ; others 
said, An angel spake to him. 

30. Jesus answered and said, 
This voice came not because 
of me, but for your sakes. 

31. Now is the judgment of 
this world : now shall the 
prince of this world be cast 
out. 

32. And I, if T be lifted up 
from the earth, will draw all 
men unto me. 

33. This he said, signifying 
what death he should die. 

34. The people answered 
him, We have heard out of the 
law that Christ abideth for 
ever : and how say est thou, The 
Son of man must be lifted up? 
who is this Son of man? 

35. Then Jesus said unto 
them, Yet a little while is the 
light with you. Walk while 
ye have the light, lest dark- 
ness come upon you : for he 
that walketh in darkness 
knoweth not whither he goeth. 

36. While ye have light, be- 
lieve in the light, that ye may 
be the children of light. These 
things spake Jesus, and de- 
parted, and did hide himself 
from them. 

37. But though he had done 
so many miracles before them, 
yet they believed not on him: 

38. That the saying: of Esaias 
the prophet might be fulfilled, 



which he spake. Lord, who 
hath believed our report? and 
to whom hath the arm of the 
Lord been revealed ? 

39. Therefore they could not 
believe, because that Esaias 
said again, 

40. He hath blinded their 
eyes, and hardened their 
heart ; that they should not 
see with their eyes, nor under- 
stand with their heart, and be 
converted, and I should heal 
them. 

41. These things said Esaias, 
when he saw his glory, and 
spake of him. 

42. Nevertheless among the 
chief rulers also many be- 
lieved on him; but because of 
the Pharisees they did not 
confess him, lest they should 
be put out of the synagogue : 

43. For they loved the praise 
of men more than the praise 
of God. 

44. Jesus cried and said, He 
that believeth on me, believeth 
not on me, but on him that 
sent me. 

45. And he that seeth me 
seeth him that sent me. 

46. I am come a light into 
the world, that whosoever be- 
lieveth on me should not abide 
in darkness. 

47. And if any man hear 
my words, and believe not, I 
juds:e him not : for I came not 
to judge the world, but to save 
the world. 

48. He that rejecteth me, 
and receiveth not my words, 
hath one that judgeth him: 
the word that I have spoken, 
the same shall judge him in 
the last day. 



118 



JOHN 12. 49. For I have 
not spoken of myself ; but the 
Father which sent me, he gave 
me a commandment, what I 
should say, and what I should 
speak. 

50. And I know that his 
commandment is life everlast- 
ing : whatsoever I speak there- 
fore, even as the Father said 
unto me, so I speak. 
MARK 13. 1. And as he 
went out of the temple, one of 
his disciples saith unto him, 
Master, see what manner of 
stones and what buildings are 
here ! 

2. And Jesus answering said 
unto him, Seest thou these 
great buildings? there shall 
not be left one stone upon an- 
other, that shall not be thrown 
down. 

3. And as he sat upon the 
mount of Olives over against 
the temple, Peter and James 
and John and Andrew asked 
him privately, 

4. Tell us, when shall these 
things be ? and what shall be 
the sign when all these things 
shall be fulfilled ? 

5. And Jesus an-swering 
them began to say. Take heed 
lest any man deceive you : 

6. For many shall come in 
my name, saying, I am Christ ; 
and shall deceive many. 

7. And when ye shall hear 
of wars and rumours of wars, 
be ye not troubled: for such 
things must needs be ; but the 
end shall not be yet. 
LUKE 21 . 10. Then said he 
unto them. Nation shall rise 
against nation, and kingdom 
against kingdom ; 



11. And great earthquakes 
shall be in divers places, and 
famines, and pestilences ; and 
fearful sights and great signs 
shall there be from heaven. 
MARK 13. 8. These are the 
beginnings of sorrows. 
LUKE 21. 12. But before 
all these, they shall lay their 
hands on you, and persecute 
you, delivering you up to the 
synagogues, and into prisons, 
being brought before kings and 
rulers for my name's sake. 

13. And it shall turn to you 
for a testimony. 

14. Settle it therefore in 
your hearts, not to meditate 
before what ye shall answer : 

15. For I will give you a 
mouth and wisdom, which all 
your adversaries shall not be 
able to gainsay nor resist. 

16. And ye shall be betrayed 
both by parents, and brethren, 
and kinsfolks, and friends ; 
and some of you shall they 
cause to be put to death. 

17. And ye shall be hated 
of all men for my name's sake. 

18. But there shall not an 
hair of your head perish. 

19. In your patience possess 
ye your souls. 

SECTION 57. 

MATT. 24. 11. And many 
false prophets shall rise, and 
shall deceive many. 

12. And because iniquity 
shall abound, the love of many 
shall wax cold. 

13 . But he that shall endure 
unto the end, the same shall be 
saved. 



119 



MATT. 24. 14. And this 
gospel of the kingdom shall 
be preached in all the world 
for a witness unto all nations ; 
and then shall the end come. 

15. When ye therefore shall 
see the abomination of desola- 
tion, spoken of by Daniel the 
prophet, stand in the holy 
place, (whoso readeth, let him 
understand :) 

16. Then let them which be 
in Judsea flee into the mount- 
ains : 

17. Let him which is on the 
housetop not come down to 
take any thing out of his house: 

18. Neither let him which 
is in the field return back to 
take his clothes. 

LUKE 21. 22. For these be 
the days of vengeance, that all 
things which are written may 
be fulfilled. 

MATT. 24. 19. And woe 

unto them that are with child, 
and to them that give suck in 
those days ! 

20. But pray ye that your 
flight be not in the winter, 
neither on the sabbath day : 

21. For then shall be great 
tribulation, such as was not 
since the beginning of the 
world to this time, no, nor 
ever shall be. 

LUKE 2L 24. And they 
shall fall by the edge of the 
sword, and shall be led away 
captive into all nations: and 
Jerusalem shall be trodden 
down of the Gentiles, until the 
times of the Gentiles be ful- 
filled. 

MATT, 24. 22. And except 
those days should be short- 
ened, there should no flesh be 



saved : but for the elect's sake 
those days shall be shortened. 

23. Then if any man shall 
say unto you, Lo, here is 
Christ, or there ; believe it not. 

24. For there shall arise 
false Christs, and false proph- 
ets, and shall shew great signs 
and wonders ; insomuch that, 
if it were possible, they shall 
deceive the very elect. 

25. Behold, I have told you 
before. 

26. Wherefore if they shall 
say unto you. Behold, he is in 
the desert ; go not forth : be- 
hold, he is in the secret cham- 
bers ; believe it not. 

27. For as the lightning 
Cometh out of the east, and 
shineth even unto the west ; so 
shall also the coming of the 
Son of man be. 

28. For wheresoever the 
carcase is, there will the eagles 
be gathered together. 

29. Immediately after the 
tribulation of those days shall 
the sun be darkened, and the 
moon shall not give her light, 
and the stars shall fall from 
heaven, and the powers of the 
heavens shall be shaken : 
LUKE2L 25. And upon the 
earth distress of nations, with 
perplexity; the sea and the 
waves roaring ; 

26. Men^s hearts failing 
them for fear, and for looking 
after those things which are 
coming on the earth : 
MATT. 24. 30. And then 
shall appear the sign of the 
Son of man in heaven: and 
then shall all the tribes of the 
earth mourn, and they shall 
see the Son of man coming in 



120 



the clouds of heaven with 
power and great glory, 
MATT. 24. 31. And he 
shall send his angels with a 
great sound of a trumpet, and 
they shall gather together his 
elect from the four winds, 
from one end of heaven to the 
other. 

LUKE 21. 28. And when 
these things begin to come to 
pass, then look up, and lift up 
your heads ; for your redemp- 
tion draweth nigh. 
MATT. 24. 32. Now learn 
a parable of the fig tree ; When 
his branch is yet tender, and 
putteth forth leaves, ye know 
that summer is nigh : 

33. So likewise ye, when ye 
shall see all these things, know 
that it is near, even at the 
doors. 

34. Verily I say unto you. 
This generation shall not pass, 
till all these things be fulfilled. 

35. Heaven and earth shall 
pass away, but my words shall 
not pass away. 

36. But of that day and hour 
knoweth no man, no, not the 
angels of heaven, but my Fa- 
ther only. 

37. But as the days of Noe 
were, so shall also the coming 
of the Son of man be. 

38. For as in the days that 
were before the flood, they 
were eating and drinking, 
marrying and giving in mar- 
riage, until the day that Noe 
entered into the ark, 

39. And knew not until the 
flood came, and took them all 
away ; so shall also the coming 
of the Son of man be. 

40. Then shall two be in 



the field; the one shall be 
taken, and the other left. 

41. Two women shall be 
grinding at the mill ; the one 
shall be taken, and the other 
left. 

MARK 13. 33. Take ye heed, 
watch and pray: for ye know 
not when the time is. 
LUKE 21. 34. And take heed 
to yourselves, lest at any time 
your hearts be overcharged 
with surfeiting, and drunken- 
ness, and cares of this life, 
and so that day come upon 
you unawares. 

35. For as a snare shall it 
come on all them that dwell 
on the face of the whole earth. 

36. Watch ye therefore, and 
pray always, that ye may be 
accounted worthy to escape all 
these things that shall come 
to pass, and to stand before 
the Son of man. 

37. And in the day time he 
was teaching in the temple; 
and at night he went out, and 
abode in the mount that is 
called the mount of Olives. 

38. And all the people came 
early in the morning to him 
in the temple, for to hear him. 
MARK 13. 34. For the Son 
of man is as a man taking a 
far journey, who left his house, 
and gave authority to his serv- 
ants, and to every man his 
work, and commanded the 
porter to watch. 

85. Watch ye therefore : 
for ye know not when the 
master of the house cometh, 
at even, or at midnight, or at 
the cockcrowing, or in the 
morning : 



121 



MARK 13. 36. Lest coming 
suddenly he find you sleeping. 

37. And what I say unto you, 
I say unto all, Watch. 
MATT. 24. 43. But know 
this, that if the goodman of 
the house had known in what 
watch the thief would come, 
he would have watched, and 
would not have suffered his 
house to be broken up. 

44. Therefore be ye also 
ready : for in such an hour as 
ye think not the Son of man 
Cometh. 

45. Who then is a faithful 
and wise servant, whom his 
lord hath made ruler over his 
household, to give them meat 
in due season ? 

46. Blessed is that servant, 
whom his lord when he com- 
eth shall find so doing. 

47. Verily I say unto you, 
That he shall make him ruler 
over all his goods. 

48. But and if that evil 
servant shall say in his heart. 
My Lord delayeth his com- 
ing; 

49. And shall begin to smite 
his fellowservants, and to eat 
and drink with the drunken ; 

50. The lord of that servant 
shall come in a day when he 
looketh not for him, and in an 
hour that he is not aware of. 

51. And shall cut him asun- 
der, and appoint him his por- 
tion with the hypocrites : there 
shall be weeping and gnash- 
ing of teeth. 

SECTION B8. 

MATT. 25. 1, Then shall 
the kingdom of heaven be 



likened unto ten virgins, which 
took their lamps, and went 
forth to meet the bridegroom. 

2. And five of them were 
wise, and five were foolish. 

3. They that were foolish 
took their lamps, and took no 
oil with them : 

4. But the wise took oil in 
their vessels with their lamps. 

5. While the bridegroom 
tarried, they all slumbered 
and slept. 

6. And at midnight there 
was a cry made. Behold, the 
bridegroom cometh ; go ye 
out to meet him. 

7. Then all those virgins 
arose, and trimmed their 
lamps. 

8. And the foolish said un- 
to the wise, Give us of your 
oil ; for our lamps are gone 
out. 

9. But the wise answered, 
saying, Not so ; lest there be 
not enough for us and you : 
but go ye rather to them that 
sell, and buy for yourselves. 

10. And while they went to 
buy, the bridegroom came ; 
and they that were ready went 
in with him to the marriage : 
and the door was shut. 

1 1. Afterward came also the 
other virgins, saying, Lord, 
Lord, open to us. 

12. But he answered and 
said, Verily I say unto you, I 
know you not. 

13. Watch therefore, for 
ye know neither the day nor 
the hour wherein the Son of 
man cometh. 

14. For the kingdom of 
heaven is as a man travelling 
into a far country, who called 



122 



his own servants, and deliv- 
ered unto them his goods. 
MATT. 25. 15. And unto 
one he gave five talents, to 
another two, and to another 
one ; to every man according 
to his several ability ; and 
straightway took his journey. 

16. Then he that had re- 
ceived the five talents went 
and traded with the same, 
and made them other five tal- 
ents. 

17. And likewise he that 
had received two, he also 
gained other two. 

18. But he that had received 
one went and digged in the 
earth, and hid his lord's 
money. 

19. After a long time the 
lord of those servants cometh, 
and reckoneth with them. 

20. And so he that had re- 
ceived five talents came and 
brought other five talents, say- 
ing. Lord, thou deliveredst 
unto me five talents : behold, 
I have gained beside them 
five talents more. 

21. His lord said unto him, 
Well done, thou good and 
faithful servant : thou hast 
been faithful over a few 
things, I will make thee ruler 
over many things : enter thou 
into the joy of thy lord. 

22. He also that had re- 
ceived two talents came and 
said. Lord, thou deliveredst 
unto me two talents : behold, 
I have gained two other tal- 
ents beside them. 

23. His lord said unto him. 
Well done, good and faithful 
servant : thou hast been faith- 
ful over & few things, I will 



make thee ruler over many 
things : enter thou into the 
joy of thy lord. 

24. Then he which had re- 
ceived the one talent came 
and said. Lord, I knew thee 
that thou art an hard man, 
reaping where thou hast not 
sown, and gathering where 
thou hast not strawed : 

25. And I was afraid, and 
went and hid thy talent in the 
earth : lo, there thou hast that 
is thine. 

26. His lord answered and 
said unto him, Thou wicked 
and slothful servant, thou 
knewest that I reap where I 
sowed not, and gather where 
I have not strawed : 

27. Thou oughtest there- 
fore to have put my money to 
the exchangers, and then at 
my coming I should have re- 
ceived mine own with usury. 

28. Take therefore the tal- 
ent from him, and give it 
unto him which hath ten tal- 
ents. 

29. For unto every one that 
hath shall be given, and he 
shall have abundance : but 
from him that hath not shall 
be taken away even that which 
he hath. 

30. And cast ye the un- 
profitable servant into outer 
darkness : there shall be weep- 
ing and gnashing of teeth. 

31. When the Son of man 
shall come in his glory, and 
all the holy angels with him, 
then shall he sit upon the 
throne of his glory : 

32. And before him shall • 
be gathered all nations : and 
he shall separate them one 



123 



from another, as a shepherd 
divideth his sheep from the 
goats. 

MATT. 25. 33. And he 

shall set the sheep on his 
right hand, but the goats on 
the left. 

34. Then shall the King say 
unto them on his right hand, 
Come, ye blessed of my 
Father, inherit the kingdom 
prepared for you from the 
foundation of the world : 

35. For I was an hungred, 
and ye gave me meat : I was 
thirsty, and ye gave me drink : 
I was a stranger, and ye took 
me in : 

36. Naked, and ye clothed 
me : I was sick, and ye visited 
me : I was in prison, and ye 
came unto me. 

37. Then shall the right- 
eous answer him, saying, Lord, 
when saw we thee an hungred, 
and fed thee? or thirsty, and 
gave thee drink ? 

38. When saw we thee a 
stranger, and took thee in? or 
naked, and clothed thee ? 

39. Or when saw we thee 
sick, or in prison, and came 
unto thee ? 

40. And the King shall an- 
swer and say unto them, Veri- 
ly I say unto you, Inasmuch 
as ye have done it unto one of 
the least of these my breth- 
ren, ye have done it unto me. 

41. Then shall he say also 
unto them on the left hand, 
Depart from me, ye cursed, 
into everlasting fire, prepared 
for the devil and his angels : 

42. For I was an hungred, 
and ye gave me no meat ; I 



was thirsty, and ye gave me 
no drink : 

43. I was a stranger, and 
ye took me not in : naked, and 
ye clothed me not : sick, and 
in prison, and ye visited me 
not. 

44. Then shall they also 
answer him, saying, Lord, 
when saw we thee an hun- 
gred, or athirst, or a stran- 
ger, or naked, or sick, or in 
prison, and did not minister 
unto thee ? 

45. Then shall he answer 
them, saying. Verily I say 
unto you, Inasmuch as ye did 
it not to one of the least of 
these, ye did it not to me. 

46. And these shall go away 
into everlasting punishment : 
but the righteous into life 
eternal. 

SECTION B9. 

MATT. 26. 1. And it came 
to pass, when Jesus had fin- 
ished all these sayings, he said 
unto his disciples, 

2. Ye know that after two 
days is the feast of the pass- 
over, and the Son of man is 
betrayed to be crucified. 

3. Then assembled together 
the chief priests, and the 
scribes, and the elders of the 
people, unto the palace of the 
high priest, who was called 
Caiaphas, 

4. A nd consulted that they 
might take Jesus by subtilty, 
and kill him. 

5. But they said, Not on 
the feast day, lest there be an 
uproar among the people. 



1-24 



LUKE 22. 3. Then entered 
Satan into Judas surnamed 
Iscariot, being of the number 
of the twelve. 

4. And he went his way, 
and communed with the chief 
priests and captains, how he 
might betray him unto them. 
MATT. 26. 15. And said 
unto them, What will ye give 
me, and I will deliver him unto 
you? And they covenanted 
with him for thirty pieces of 
silver. 

LUKE 22. 5. And they were 
glad, 

6. And he promised, and 
sought opportunity to betray 
him unto them in the absence 
of the multitude. 

7. Then came the day of 
unleavened bread, when the 
passover must be killed. 

8. And he sent Peter and 
John, saying, Go and prepare 
us the passover, that we may 
eat. 

9. And they said unto him, 
Where wilt thou that we pre- 
pare ? 

10. And he said unto them, 
Behold, when ye are entered 
into the city, there shall a man 
meet you, bearing a pitcher of 
water ; follow him into the 
house where he entereth in. 

11. And ye shall say unto 
the goodman of the house, 
The Master saith unto thee, 
Where is the guestchamber, 
where I shall eat the passover 
with my disciples ? 

12. And he shall shew you 
a large upper room furnished : 
there make ready. 

13. And they went, and 
found as he had said unto 



them : and they made ready 
the passover. 

14. And 

MARK 14. 17. In the even- 
ing 

LUKE 22. 14. When the 
hour was come, he sat down, 
and the twelve apostles with 
him. 

15. And he said unto them. 
With desire I have desired to 
eat this passover with you be- 
fore I suffer : 

16. For I say unto you, I 
will not any more eat thereof, 
until it be fulfilled in the 
kingdom of God. 

17. And he took the cup, 
and gave thanks, and said, 
Take this, and divide it among 
yourselves : 

18. For I say unto jou, I 
will not drink of the fruit of 
the vine, until the kingdom of 
God shall come. 

24. And there was also a 
strife among them, which of 
them should be accounted the 
greatest. 

25. And he said unto them. 
The kings of the Gentiles ex- 
ercise lordship over them ; 
and they that exercise author- 
ity upon them are called ben- 
efactors. 

26. But ye shall not be so : 
but he that is greatest among 
you, let him be as the younger; 
and he that is chief, as he that 
doth serve. 

27. For whether is greater, 
he that sitteth at meat, or he 
that serveth? is not he that 
sitteth at meat? but I am 
among you as he that serveth. 

28. Ye are the^ which have 



125 



continued with me in my 
temptations, 

LUKE 22. 29. And I ap- 
point unto you a kingdom, as 
my Father hath appointed 
unto me ; 

30. That ye may eat and 
drink at my table in my king- 
dom, and sit on thrones judg- 
ing the twelve tribes of Israel. 

SECTION 60. 

JOHN 13. 1. Now before 
the feast of the passover, when 
Jesus knew that his hour was 
come that he should depart 
out of this world unto the 
Father, having loved his own 
which were in the world, he 
loved them unto the end. 

2. And supper being ended, 
the devil having now put into 
the heart of Judas Iscariot, 
Simon's son, to betray him ; 

3. Jesus knowing that the 
Father had given all things 
into his hands, and that he 
was come from God, and went 
to God ; 

4. He riseth from supper, 
and laid aside his garments ; 
and took a towel, _ and girded 
himself. 

5. After that he poureth 
water into a bason, and began 
to wash the disciples' feet, and 
to wipe them with the towel 
wherewith he was girded. 

6. Then cometh he to Simon 
Peter : and Peter saith unto 
him. Lord, dost thou wash my 
feet? 

7. Jesus answered and said 
unto him. What I do thou 
knowest not now ; but thou 
shalt know hereafter. 



8. Peter saith unto him. 
Thou shalt never wash my 
feet. Jesus answered him. If 
I wash thee not, thou hast no 
part with me. 

9. Simon Peter saith unto 
him, Lord, not my feet only, 
but also my hands and my 
head. 

10. Jesus saith to him, He 
that is washed needeth not 
save to wash his feet, but is 
clean every whit : and ye are 
clean, but not all. 

11. For he knew who should 
betray him ; therefore said 
he, Ye are not all clean. 

12. So after he had washed 
their feet, and had taken his 
garments, and was set down 
again, he said unto them, 
Know ye what I have done to 
you? 

13. Ye call me Master and 
Lord : and ye say well ; for 
so I am. 

14. If I then, your Lord 
and Master, have washed your 
feet ; ye also ought to wash 
one another's feet. 

15. For I have given you 
an example, that ye should do 
as I have done to you. 

16. Verily, verily, I say un- 
to you. The servant is not 
greater than his lord ; neither 
he that is sent greater than he 
that sent him. 

17. If ye know these things, 
happy are ye if ye do them. 

18. I speak not of you all : 
I know whom I have chosen : 
but that the scripture may be 
fulfilled. He that eateth bread 
with me hath lifted up his 
heel against me. 



126 



JOHN 13. 19. Now I tell 
you before it come, that, when 
it is come to pass, je may be- 
lieve that I am he. 

20. Verilv, verily, I say 
unto you, He that receiveth 
whomsoever I send receiveth 
me ; and he that receiveth me, 
receiveth him that sent me. 

21. When Jesus had thus 
said, he was troubled in spir- 
it, and testified, and said. 
Verily, verily, I say unto you, 
that one of you shall betray 
me. 

22. Then the disciples 
looked one on another, doubt- 
ing of whom he spake. 
MATT. 26. 22. And they 
were exceeding sorrowful, and 
began every one of them to 
say unto him. Lord, is it I ? 
JOHN 13. 23. Now there 
was leaning on Jesus' bosom 
one of his disciples, whom 
Jesus loved. 

24. Simon Peter therefore 
beckoned to him, that he 
should ask who it should be 
of whom he spake. 

25. He then lying on Jesus' 
breast saith unto him. Lord, 
who is it ? 

26. Jesus answered. He it 
is, to whom I shall give a sop, 
when I have dipped it. 
MATT. 26. 23. He that 
dippeth his hand with me in 
the dish, the same shall be- 
tray me. 

24. The Son of man goeth 
as it is written of him : but 
woe unto that man by whom 
the Son of man is betrayed ! 
it had been good for that man 
if he had not been born. 



25. Then Judas, which be- 
trayed him, answered and 
said. Master, is it I? He said 
unto him, Thou hast said. 
JOHN 13. 26. And when he 
had dipped the sop, he gave 
it to Judas Iscariot, the son of 
Simon. 

27. And after the sop Sa- 
tan entered into him. Then 
said Jesus unto him, That 
thou doest, do quickly. 

28. Now no man at the 
table knew for what intent he 
spake this unto him. 

29. For some of them 
thought, because Judas had 
the bag, that Jesus had said 
unto him. Buy those things 
that we have need of against 
the feast ; or, that he should 
give something to the poor. 

30. He then having re- 
ceived the sop went immedi- 
ately out : and it was night. 

31. Therefore, when he was 
gone out, Jesus said, Now is 
the Son of man glorified, and 
Grod is glorified in him. 

32. If God be glorified in 
him, God shall also glorify 
him in himself, and shall 
straightway glorify him. 

33. Little children, yet a 
little while I am with you. 
Ye shall seek me : and as I 
said unto the Jews, Whither I 
go, ye cannot come ; so now I 
say to you. 

34. A new commandment I 
give unto you. That ye love 
one another ; as I have loved 
you, that ye also love one an- 
other. 

35. By this shall ail men 
know that ye are my disciples, 
if ye have love one to another. 



127 



MATT. 26. 26. And as they 
were eating, Jesus took bread, 
and blessed it, 

LUKE 22. 19. And gave 
thanks, 

MATT. 26. 26. And brake 
it, and gave it to the disci- 
ples, and said, Take, eat ; this 
is my body. 

LUKE 22. 19. Which is giv- 
en for you : this do in remem- 
brance of me. 

MATT. 26. 27. And he took 
the cup, 

I COR. I I. 25. When he had 
supped, 

MATT. 26. 27. And gave 
thanks, and gave it to them, 
saying, Drink ye all of it ; 

28. For this is my blood of 
the new testament, which is 
shed for many for the remis- 
sion of sins. 

I COR. I L 25. This do ye 
as often as ye drink it, in re- 
membrance of me. 
MATT. 26. 29. But I say 
unto you, I will not drink 
henceforth of this fruit of the 
vine, until that day when I 
drink it new with you in my 
Father's kingdom. 
JOHN 13. 36. Simon Peter 
said unto him, Lord, whither 
goest thou? Jesus answered 
him. Whither I go, thou canst 
not follow me now ; but thou 
shalt follow me afterwards. 

37, Peter said unto him. 
Lord, why cannot I follow 
thee now? I will lay down 
my life for thy sake. 
MATT. 26. 31. Then saith 
J esus unto them, All ye shall 
be offended because of me 
this night : for it is written, I 
will smite the shepherd, and 



the sheep of the flock shall be 
scattered abroad. 

32. But after I am risen 
again, I will go before you 
into Galilee. 

33. Peter answered and 
said unto him, Though all 
men should be offended be- 
cause of thee, yet will I never 
be offended. 

LUKE 22. 31. And the Lord 
said, Simon, Simon, behold, 
Satan hath desired to have 
you, that he may sift you as 
wheat : 

32. But I have prayed for 
thee, that thy faith fail not: 
and when thou art converted, 
strengthen thy brethren. 

33. And he said unto him. 
Lord, I am ready to go with 
thee, both into prison, and to 
death. 

MARK 14. 30. And Jesus 
saith unto him, Verily I say 
unto thee. That this day, even 
in this night, before the cock 
crow twice, thou shalt deny 
me thrice. 

31. But he spake the more 
vehemently. If I should die 
with thee, I will not deny thee 
in any wise. Likewise also 
said they all. 

SECTION 61. 

JOHN 14. 1. Let not your 
heart be troubled : ye believe 
in God, believe also in me. 

2. In my Father's house are 
many mansions : if it were 
not so, I would have told you. 
I go to prepare a place for 
you. 

3. And if I go and prepare 
a place for you, I will come 



128 



again, and receive you unto 
myself ; that where I am, 
there ye may be also. 
JOHN 14, 4. And whither 
I go ye know, and the way ye 
know. 

5. Thomas saith unto him, 
Lord, we know not whither 
thou goest ; and how can we 
know the way ? 

6. Jesus saith unto him, I 
am the way, the truth, and 
the life : no man cometh unto 
the Father, but by me. 

7. If ye had known me, ye 
should have known my Father 
also : and from henceforth ye 
know him, and have seen him. 
. 8. Philip saith unto him. 
Lord, shew us the Father, 
and it sufficeth us. 

9. Jesus saith unto him. 
Have I been so long time with 
you, and yet hast thou not 
known me, Philip? he that 
hath seen me hath seen the 
Father ; and how sayest thou 
then. Shew us the Father ? 

10. Believest thou not that 
I am in the Father, and the 
Father in me ? the words that 
I speak unto you I speak not 
of myself : but the Father 
that dwelleth in me, he doeth 
the works. 

11. Believe me, that I am 
in the Father, and the Father 
in me : or else believe me for 
the very works' sake. 

12. Verily, verily, I say unto 
you, He that believeth on me, 
the works that I do shall he 
do also ; and greater works 
than these shall he do ; be- 
cause I go unto my Father. 

13. And whatsoever ye shall 



ask in my name, that will I do, 
that the Father may be glori- 
fied in the Son. 

14. If ye shall ask any 
thing in my name, I will do 
it. 

15. If ye love me, keep my 
commandments. 

16. And I will pray the 
Father, and he shall give you 
another Comforter, that he 
may abide with you for ever. 

17. Even the Spirit of truth; 
whom the world cannot re- 
ceive, because it seeth him 
not, neither knoweth him : 
but ye know him ; for he 
dwelleth with you, and shall 
be in you. 

18. I will not leave you 
comfortless : I will come to 
you. 

19. Yet a little while, and 
the world seeth me no more ; 
but ye see me : because I live, 
ye shall live also. 

20. At that day ye shall 
know that I am in my Father, 
and ye in me, and I in you. 

21. He that hath my com- 
mandments, and keepeth them, 
he it is that loveth me : and 
he that loveth me shall be 
loved of my Father, and I 
will love him, and will mani- 
fest myself to him. 

22. Judas saith unto him, 
not Iscariot, Lord, how is it 
that thou wilt manifest thy- 
self unto us, and not unto the 
world? 

23. Jesus answered and said 
unto him, If a man love me, 
he will keep my words : and 
my Father will love him, and 
we will come unto him, and 
make our abode with him. 



129 



JOHN 14. 24. Hethatlov- 
eth me not keepeth not my 
sayings : and the word which 
ye hear is not mine, but the 
Father's which sent me. 

25. These things have I 
spoken unto you, being yet 
present with you. 

26. But the Comforter, 
which is the Holy Ghost,whom 
the Father will send in my 
name, he shall teach you all 
things, and bring all things to 
your remembrance, whatso- 
ever I have said unto you. 

27. Peace I leave with you, 
my peace I give unto you : 
not as the world giveth, give 
I unto you. Let not your 
heart be troubled, neither let 
it be afraid. 

28. Ye have heard how I 
said unto you, I go away, and 
come again unto you. If ye 
loved me, ye would rejoice, 
because I said, I go unto the 
Father : for my Father is 
greater than I. 

29. And now I have told 
you before it come -to pass, 
that, when it is come to pass, 
ye might believe. 

30. Hereafter I will not 
talk much with you : for the 
prince of this world cometh, 
and hath nothing in me. 

31. But that the world may 
know that I love the Father ; 
and as the Father gave me 
commandment, even so I do. 
Arise, let us go hence. 

SECTION 62. 

JOHN I 5. 1. I am the true 
vine, and my Father is the 
husbandman. 



2. Every branch in me that 
beareth not fruit he taketh 
away : and every branch that 
beareth fruit, he purgeth it, 
that it may bring forth more 
fruit. 

3. Now ye are clean through 
the word which I have spoken 
unto you. 

4. Abide in me, and T in 
you. As the branch cannot 
bear fruit of itself, except it 
abide in the vine ; no more 
can ye, except ye abide in me. 

5. I am the vine, ye are the 
branches : He that abideth in 
me, and I in him, the same 
bringeth forth much fruit : 
for without me ye can do 
nothing. 

6. If a man abide not in 
me, he is cast forth as a branch, 
and is withered ; and men 
gather them, and cast them 
into the fire, and they are 
burned. 

7. If ye abide in me, and 
my words abide in you, ye 
shall ask what ye will, and it 
shall be done unto you. 

8. Herein is my Father 
glorified, that ye bear much 
fruit; so shall ye be my dis- 
ciples. 

9. As the Father hath loved 
me, so have I loved you : con- 
tinue ye in my love. 

10. If ye keep my com- 
mandments, ye shall abide in 
my love ; even as I have kept 
my Father's commandments, 
and abide in his love. 

11. These things have I 
spoken unto you, that my joy 
might remain in you, and that 
your joy might be full. 

12. This is mj command* 



130 



ment, That ye love one an- 
other, as I have loved you. 
JOHN 15. 18. Greater love 
hath no man than this, that a 
man lay down his life for his 
friends. 

14. Ye are my friends, if 
ye do whatsoever I command 
you. 

15. Henceforth I call you 
not servants ; for the servant 
knoweth not what his lord 
doeth : but I have called you 
friends ; for all things that I 
have heard of my Father I 
have made known unto you. 

16. Ye have not chosen 
me, but I have chosen you, 
and ordained you, that ye 
should go and bring forth 
fruit, and that your fruit 
should remain : that whatso- 
ever ye shall ask of the 
Father in my name, he may 
give it you. 

17. These things I com- 
mand you, that ye love one 
another. 

18. If the world hate you, 
ye know that it hated me be- 
fore it hated you. 

19. If ye were of the world, 
the world would love his own : 
but because ye are not of the 
world, but I have chosen you 
out of the world, therefore 
the world hateth you. 

20. Remember the word that 
I said unto you. The servant is 
not greater than his lord. If 
they have persecuted me, they 
will also persecute you ; if 
they have kept my saying, 
they will keep your's also. 

21. But all these things 
will they do unto you for my 



name's sake, because they 
know not him that sent me. 

22. If I had not come and 
spoken unto them, they had 
not had sin : but now they 
have no cloke for their sin. 

23. He that hateth me 
hateth my Father also. 

24. If I had not done 
among them the works which 
none other man did, they had 
not had sin : but now have 
they both seen and hated 
both me and my Father. 

25. But this cometh to pass, 
that the word might be ful- 
filled that is written in their 
law. They hated me without a 
cause. 

26. But when the Com- 
forter is come, whom I will 
send unto you from the 
Father, even the Spirit of j 
truth, which proceedeth from 
the Father, he shall testify of 
me : 

27. And ye also shall bear 
witness, because ye have been 
with me from the beginning. 

SECTION 63. 

i 

JOHN 16. 1. These things I 
have I spoken unto you, that j 
ye should not be offended. ) 

2. They shall put you out ' 
of the synagogues : yea, the < 
time cometh, that whosoever 
killeth you will think that he 
doeth God service. | 

3. And these things will ' 
they do unto you, because 
they have not known the 
Father, nor me. 

4. But these things have I 
told you, that when the time I 
shall come, ye may remember 



131 



that I told you of them. And 
these things I said not unto 
you at the beginning, because 
I was with you. 
JOHN I 6. 5. But now I go 
my way to him that sent me ; 
and none of you asketh me, 
Whither goest thou ? 

6. But because I have said 
these things unto you, sorrow 
hath filled your heart. 

7. Nevertheless I tell you 
the truth ; It is expedient for 
you that I go away : for if I 
go not away, the Comforter 
will not come unto you ; but 
if I depart, I will send him 
unto you. 

8. And when he is come, 
he will reprove the world of 
sin, and of righteousness, and 
of judgment : 

9. Of sin, because they be- 
lieve not on me ; 

10. Of righteousness, be- 
cause I go to my Father, and 
ye see me no more ; 

11. Of judgment, because 
the prince of this world is 
judged. 

12. I have yet many things 
to say unto you, but ye cannot 
bear them now. 

13. Howbeit when he, the 
Spirit of truth, is come, he 
will guide you into all truth : 
for he shall not speak of him- 
self; but whatsoever he shall 
hear, that shall he speak : and 
he will shew you things to 
come. 

14. He shall glorify me : for 
he shall receive of mine, and 
shall shew it unto you. 

15. All things that the Fa- 
ther hath are mine : therefore 
said I, that he shall take of 



mine, and shall shew it unto 
you. 

16. A little while, and ye 
shall not see me : and again, a 
little while, and ye shall see me, 
because I go to the Father. 

17. Then said some of his 
disciples among themselves, 
What is this that he saith unto 
us, A little while, and ye shall 
not see me : and again, a little 
while, and ye shall see me : 
and. Because I go to the 
Father? 

18. They said therefore, 
What is this that he saith, A 
little while ? we cannot tell 
what he saith. 

19. Now Jesus knew that 
they were desirous to ask 
him, and said unto them, Do 
ye enquire among yourselves 
of that I said, A little while, 
and ye shall not see me : and 
again, a little while, and ye 
shall see me ? 

20. Verily, verily, I say 
unto you, That ye shall weep 
and lament, but the world 
shall rejoice : and ye shall be 
sorrowful, but your sorrow 
shall be turned into joy. 

21. A woman when she is 
in travail hath sorrow, be- 
cause her hour is come : but 
as soon as she is delivered of 
the child, she remembereth no 
more the anguish, for joy 
that a man is born into the 
world. 

22. And ye now therefore 
have sorrow : but I will see 
you again, and your heart 
shall rejoice, and your joy 
no man taketh from you. 

23. And in that day ye 
shall ask me nothing. Veri- 



132 



ly, verily, I say unto you, 
Whatsoever ye shall ask the 
Father in my name, he will 
give it you. 

JOHN 16. 24. Hitherto 
have ye asked nothing in my 
name ; ask, and ye shall re- 
ceive, that your joy may be 
full. 

25. These things have I 
spoken unto you in proverbs : 
but the time cometh, when I 
shall no more speak unto you 
in proverbs, but I shall shew 
you plainly of the Father. 

26. At that day ye shall ask 
in my name : and I say not 
unto you, that I will pray the 
Father for you : 

27. For the Father himself 
loveth you, because ye have 
loved me, and have believed 
that I came out from God. 

28. I came forth from the 
Father, and am come into the 
world : again, I leave the 
world, and go to the Father. 

29. His disciples said unto 
him, Lo, now speakest thou 
plainly, and speakest no prov- 
erb. 

30. Now are we sure that 
thou knowest all things, and 
needest not that any man 
should ask thee : by this we 
believe that thou earnest forth 
from God. 

31. Jesus answered them, 
Do ye now believe? 

32. Behold, the hour Com- 
eth, yea, is now come, that ye 
shall be scattered, every man 
to his own, and shall leave 
me alone : and yet I am not 
alone, because the Father is 
with me. 



33. These things I have 
spoken unto you, that in me 
ye might have peace. In the 
world ye shall have tribula- 
tion : but be of good cheer ; 
I have overcome the world. 

SECTION 64. 

JOHN 17, 1. These words 
spake Jesus, and lifted up his 
eyes to heaven, and said, Fa- 
ther, the hour is come : glo- 
rify thy Son, that thy Son 
also may glorify thee : 

2. As thou hast given him 
power over all flesh, that he 
should give eternal life to as 
many as thou hast given him, 

3. And this is life eternal, 
that they might know thee 
the only true God, and Jesus 
Christ, whom thou hast sent. 

4. I have glorified thee on 
the earth : I have finished the 
work which thou gavest me 
to do. 

5. And now, O Father, glo- 
rify thou me with thine own 
self with the glory which I 
had with thee before the world 
was. 

6. I have manifested thy 
name unto the men which^ 
thou gavest me out of the 
world : thine they were, and 
thou gavest them me ; and 
they have kept thy word. 

7. Now they have known 
that all things whatsoever 
thou hast given me are of 
thee. 

8. For I have given unto 
them the words which thou 
gavest me ; and they have re- 
ceived them, and have known 
surely that I came out from 



133 



thee, and they have believed 
that thou didst send me. 
JOHN I 7. 9. I pray for 
them : I pray not for the 
world, but for them which 
thou hast given me ; for they 
are thine. 

10. And all mine are thine, 
and thine are mine ; and I am 
glorified in them. 

11. And now I am no more 
in the world, bnt these are in 
the world, and I come to thee. 
Holy Father, keep through 
thine own name those whom 
thou hast given me, that they 
may be one, as we are. 

12. While I was with them 
in the world, I kept them in 
thy name : those that thou 
gavest me I have kept, and 
none of them is lost, but the 
son of perdition ; that the 
scripture might be fulfilled. 

13. And now come I to 
thee ; and these things I speak 
in the world, that they might 
have my joy fulfilled in them- 
selves. 

14. I have given them thy 
word ; and the world halh 
hated them, because they are 
not of the world, even as I 
am not of the world. 

15. I pray not that thou 
shouldest take them out of 
the world, but that thou 
shouldest keep them from the 
evil. 

16. They are not of the 
world, even as I am not of 
the world. 

17. Sanctify them through 
thy truth : thy word is truth. 

18. As thou hast sent me 
into the world, even so have I 
also sent them into the world. 



19. And for their sakes I 
sanctify myself, that they also 
might be sanctified through 
the truth. 

20. Neither pray I for these 
alone, but for them also which 
shall believe on me through 
their word ; 

21. That they all may be 
one ; as thou, Father, art in 
me, and I in thee, that they 
also may be one in us : that 
the world may believe that 
thou hast sent me. 

22. And the glory which 
thou gavest me I have given 
them ; that they may be one, 
even as we are one : 

23. I in them, and thou in 
me, that they may be made 
perfect in one j and that the 
world may know that thou 
hast sent me, and hast loved 
them, as thou hast loved me. 

24. Father, I will that they 
also, whom thou hast given 
me, be with me where I am ; 
that they may behold my 
glory, which thou hast given 
me : for thou lovedst me be- 
fore the foundation of the 
world. 

25. O righteous Father, the 
world hath not known thee : 
but I have known thee, and 
these have known that thou 
hast sent me. 

26. And I have declared 
unto them thy name, and will 
declare it : that the love 
wherewith thou hast loved me 
may be in them, and I in 
them. 

LUKE 22. 35. And he said 
unto them, When I sent you 
without purse, and scrip, and 



134 



shoes, lacked ye any thing? 
And they said, Nothing. 
LUKE 22. 36. Then said he 
unto them, But now, he that 
hath a purse, let him take it, 
and likewise his scrip : and 
he that hath no sword, let him 
sell his garment, and buy one. 

37. For I say unto you, that 
this that is written must yet 
be accomplished in me. And 
he was reckoned among the 
transgressors : for the things 
concerning me have an end. 

38. And they said, Lord, 
behold, here are two swords. 
And he said unto them. It is 
enough. 

SECTION 65. 

MATT. 26. 30. And when 
they had sung an hymn, they 
went out 

JOHN 18.1. Over the brook 
Cedron, 

LUKE 22. 39. As he was 

wont, 

MATT. 26. 30. Into the 
mount of Olives. 
LUKE 22. 39. And his dis- 
ciples also followed him. 
MATT. 26. 36. Then com- 
eth Jesus with them unto a 
place called Gethsemane, 
JOHN I 8. 1. Where was a 
garden, into the which he en- 
tered, 

MATT. 26. 36. And saith 
unto the disciples, Sit ye here, 
while I go and pray yonder. 
MARK 14. 33. And he tak- 
eth with him Peter and 
MATT. 26. 37. The two sons 
of Zebedee 

MARK 14. 33. James and 
John, and began to be sore 



amazed, and to be very heavy ; 

34. And saith unto them. 
My soul is exceeding sorrow- 
ful unto death : tarry ye here, 
and watch. 

LUKE 22. 41. And he was 
withdrawn from them about 
a stone's cast, and kneeled 
down, and prayed, 

42. Saying, 

MARK 14. 36. Abba, Fa- 
ther, all things are possible 
unto thee ; 

LUKE 22. 42. If thou be 
willing, remove this cup from 
me : nevertheless not my will, 
but thine, be done. 

43. And there appeared an 
angel unto him from heaven, 
strengthening him. 

44. And being in an agony 
he prayed more earnestly : 
and his sweat was as it were 
great drops of blood falling 
down to the ground. 
MATT. 26. 40. And hecom- 
eth unto the disciples, and 
findeth them asleep, 
LUKE 22. 45. For sorrow, 
MATT. 26. 40. And saith 
unto Peter, What, could ye 
not watch with me one hour ? 

41. Watch and pray, that 
ye enter not into temptation : 
the spirit indeed is willing, 
bat the flesh is weak. 

42. He went away again 
the second time, and prayed, 
saying, O my Father, if this 
cup may not pass away from 
me, except I drink it, thy will 
be done. 

43. And he came and found 
them asleep again : for their 
eyes were heavy : 

MARK 14.40. Neither wist 
they what to answer him. 



135 



MATT. 26. 44. And he left 
them, and went away again, 
and prayed the third time, 
saying the same words. 

45. Then cometh he to his 
disciples, and saith unto 
them. Sleep on now, and take 
your rest : behold, the hour 
is at hand, and the Son of 
man is betrayed into the 
hands of sinners. 

46. Else, let us be going: 
behold, he is at hand that 
doth betray me. 

SECTION 66. 

JOHN 18. 2. And Judas 
also, which betrayed him, 
knew the place : for Jesus 
ofttimes resorted thither with 
his disciples. 

3. Judas then, having re- 
ceived a band of men and 
officers from the chief priests 
and Pharisees, cometh thither 
with lanterns and torches 
and weapons. 

MATT. 26. 47. And with 
him a great multitude with 
swords and staves. 
JOHN 18. 4. Jesus there- 
fore, knowing all things that 
should come upon him, went 
forth, and said unto them, 
Whom seek ye? 

5. They answered him, Je- 
sus of Nazareth. Jesus saith 
nnto them, I am he. And 
Judas also, which betrayed 
him, stood with them. 

6. As soon then as he had 
said unto them, I am he, they 
went backward, and^ fell to 
the ground. 

7. Then asked he them 
again, Whom seek ye ? And 



they said, Jesus of Nazareth. 

8. Jesus answered, I have 
told you that I am he : if 
therefore ye seek me, let these 
go their way : 

9. That the saying might 
be fulfilled, which he spake, 
Of them which thou gavest 
me have I lost none. 
MATT. 26. 48. Now he that 
betrayed him gave them a 
sign, saying, Whomsoever I 
shall kiss, that same is he: 
hold him fast. 

MARK 14. 44. And lead 
him away safely. 
MATT. 26. 49. And forth- 
with he came to Jesus, and 
said, Hail, master ; and kissed 
him. 

LUKE 22. 48. But Jesus said 
unto him, Judas, betrayest 
thou the Son of man with a 
kiss? 

MATT. 26. 1 50. Friend, do 
that for which thou art come. 
LUKE 22. 49. When they 
which were about him saw 
what would follow, they said 
unto him, Lord, shall we smite 
with the sword ? 
JOHN 18. 10. Then Simon 
Peter having a sword drew it, 
and smote the high priest* s 
servant, and cut off his right 
ear. The servant* s name was 
Malchus. 

11. Then said Jesus unto 
Peter, Put up thy sword into 
the sheath : the cup which 
my Father hath given me, 
shall I not drink it ? 
MATT. 26, 52. They that 
take the sword shall perish 
with the sword.

MATT. 26. 53. Thinkest 
thou that I cannot now pray 
to my Father, and he shall 
presently give me more than 
twelve legions of angels? 

54. But how then shall the 
scriptures be fulfilled, that 
thus it must be ? 
LUKE 22. 51. And Jesus 
answered and said. Suffer ye 
thus far. And he touched 
his ear, and healed him. 
MATT. 26. 55. In that same 
hour said Jesus to the multi- 
tudes, 

LUKE 22. 52. The chief 
priests, and captains of the 
temple, and the elders, which 
were come to him. 
MATT. 26. 55. Are ye come 
out as against a thief with 
swords and staves for to take 
me ? I sat daily with you 
teaching in the temple, and ye 
laid no hold on me. 

56. But all this was done, 
that the scriptures of the 
prophets might be fulfilled. 
Then all the disciples forsook 
him, and fled. 

MARK 14. 51. And there 
followed him a certain young 
man, having a linen cloth cast 
about his naked body ; and 
the young men laid hold on 
him : 

52. And he left the linen 
cloth, and fled from them 
naked. 

SECTION 67. 

JOHN I 8. 12. Then the 
band and the captain and offi- 
cers of the Jews took Jesus, 
and bound him, 

13. And led him away to 
Annas first ; for he was father 



in law to Caiaphas, which 
was the high priest that same 
year. 

14. Now Caiaphas was he, 
which gave counsel to the 
Jews, that it was expedient 
that one man should die for 
the people. 

15. And Simon Peter fol- 
lowed Jesus, and so did an- 
other disciple : that disciple 
was known unto the high 
priest, and went in with Je- 
sus into the palace of the 
high priest. 

LUKE 22. 54. And Peter 

followed afar off. 

JOHN 18. 16. But Peter 

stood at the door without. 
Then went out that other dis- 
ciple, which was known unto 
the high priest, and spake 
unto her that kept the door, 
and brought in Peter. 

18. And the servants and 
officers stood there, who had 
made a fire of coals ; for it was 
cold : and they warmed them- 
selves : and Peter stood with 
them, and warmed himself. 
MATT. 26. 58. And sat 
with the servants, to see the 
end. 

MARK 14. 66. And as Pe- 
ter was beneath in the palace, 
there cometh one of the maids 
of the high priest : 

67. And when she saw Pe- 
ter warming himself, she 
looked upon him 
LUKE 22. 56. Earnestly, 
MARK 14. 67. And said. 
And thou also wast with J esus 
of Nazareth. 

JOHN' 18. 17. Art not thou 
also one of this man's dis- 
ciples ? 



137 



MARK 14. 68. But he de- 
nied, saying, I know not, 
neither understand I what 
thou sayest. 

LUKE 22. 57. Woman, I 
know him not. 
MARK 14. 68. And he went 
out into the porch ; and the 
cock crew. 

MATT. 26. 71. And when 
he was gone out into the 
porch, another maid saw him, 
and said unto them that were 
there. This fellow was also 
with Jesus of Nazareth. 

72. And again he denied 
with an oath, I do not know 
the man. 

LUKE 22. 59. And about 
the space of one hour after 
JOHN 18. 26. One of the 

servants of the high priest, 
being his kinsman whose ear 
Peter cut off, saith, Did not I 
see thee in the garden with 
him? 

MARK 14. 70, Surely thou 
art one of them : for thou art 
a Galilsean, and thy speech 
agreeth thereto. 

71. But he began to curse 
and to swear, saying, I know 
not this man of whom ye 
speak. 

72. And the second time 
the cock crew, 

LUKE 22. 61. And the Lord 
turned, and looked upon Pe- 
ter. And Peter remembered 
the word of the Lord, how 
he had said unto him, 
MARK 14. 72. Before the 
cock crow twice, thou shalt 
deny me thrice. 
LUKE 22. 62. And Peter 
went out, and wept bitterly. 



SECTION 68. 

JOHN 18. 19. The high 
priest then asked Jesus of his 
disciples, and of his doctrine. 

20. Jesus answered him, I 
spake openly to the world ; I 
ever taught in the synagogue, 
and in the temple, whither 
the Jews always resort; and 
in secret have I said nothing. 

21. Why askest thou me? 
ask them which heard me, 
what I have said unto them : 
behold, they know what I 
said. 

22. And when he had thus 
spoken, one of the officers 
which stood by struck Jesus 
with the palm of his hand, 
saying, Answerest thou the 
high priest so ? 

23. Jesus answered him. If 
I have spoken evil, bear wit- 
ness of the evil ; but if well, 
why smitest thou me ? 

24. Now Annas had sent 
him bound unto Caiaphas the 
high priest. 

LUKE 22. 66. And as soon 
as it was day, the elders of 
the people and the chief 
priests and the scribes came 
together, and led him into 
their council, 

MARK 14. 55. And the 

chief priests and all the coun- 
cil sought for witness against 
Jesus to put him to death ; 
and found none. 

56. For many bare false 
witness against him, but their 
witness agreed not together. 

57. And there arose certain, 
and bare false witness against 
him, saying. 



138 



MARK 14. 68. We heard 
him say, I will destroy this 
temple that is made with 
hands, and within three days 
I will build another made 
without hands. 

59. But neither so did their 
witness agree together. 

60. And the high priest 
stood up in the midst, and 
asked Jesus, saying, Answer- 
est thou nothing? what is it 
which these witness against 
thee ? 

61. But he held his peace, 
and answered nothing. 
MATT. 26. 63. And the 
high priest answered and said 
unto him, I adjure thee by 
the living God, that thou tell 
us whether thou be the Christ, 
the Son of God. 

MARK 14. 62. And Jesus 
said, I am : 

MATT. 26. 64. Thou hast 
said : nevertheless I say unto 
you, Hereafter shall ye see 
the Son of man sitting on the 
right hand of power, and 
coming in the clouds of 
heaven. 

65. Then the high priest 
rent his. clothes, saying, He 
hath spoken blasphemy ; what 
further need have we of wit- 
nesses? behold, now ye have 
heard his blasphemy. 

66. What think ye ? They 
answered and said, He is 
guilty of death. 

MARK 14. 65. And some 
began to spit on him, and to 
cover his face, and to buffet 
him, and to say unto him, 
Prophesy : 

LUKE 22. 64. Who is it 

that smote thee ? 



65. And many other things 
blasphemously spake they 
against him. 

SECTION 69. 

MATT. 27. 1. When the 
morning was come, all the 
chief priests and elders of 
the people took counsel 
against Jesus to put him to 
death : 

2. And when they had 
bound him, they led him away, 
and delivered him to Pontius 
Pilate the governor. 

3. Then Judas, which had 
betrayed him, when he saw 
that he was condemned, re- 
pented himself, and brought 
again the thirty pieces of sil- 
ver to the chief priests and 
elders, 

4. Saying, I have sinned 
in that I have betrayed the 
innocent blood. And they 
said, What is that to us? see 
thou to that. 

5. And he cast down the 
pieces of silver in the tem- 
ple, and departed, and went 
and hanged himself. 
ACTS I. 18. And falling 
headlong, he burst asunder in 
the midst, and all his bowels 
gushed out. 

MATT. 27. 6. And the chief 
priests took the silver pieces, 
and said, It is not lawful for 
to put them into the treasury, 
because it is the price of 
blood. 

7. And they took counsel, 
and bought with them the 
potter's field, to bury strang- 
ers in. 

8. Wherefore that field was 



139 



called, The field of blood, 
unto this day. 

MATT. 27. Q.Thenwasful- 

filled that which was spoken 
by Jeremy the prophet, say- 
ing, And they took the thirty 
pieces of silver, the price of 
him that was valued, whom 
they of the children of Israel 
did value ; 

10. And gave them for the 
potter's field, as the Lord ap- 
pointed me. 

JOHN 18.28. Then led they 
Jesus from Caiaphas unto the 
hall of judgment : and it was 
early ; and they themselves 
went not into the judgment 
hall, lest they should be de- 
filed ; but that they might eat 
the passover. 

29. Pilate then went out 
unto them, and said. What 
accusation bring ye against 
this man ? 

80. They answered and said 
unto him, If he were not a 
malefactor, we would not 
have delivered him up unto 
thee. 

31. Then said Pilate unto 
them. Take ye him, and judge 
him according to your law. 
The Jews therefore said unto 
him. It is not lawful for us to 
put any man to death : 

32. That the saying of Je- 
sus might be fulfilled, which 
he spake, signifying what 
death he should die. 
LUKE 23. 2. And they be- 
gan to accuse him, saying, We 
found this fellow perverting 
the nation, and forbidding to 
give tribute to Csesar, saying 
that he himself is Christ a 
King. 



JOHN 18. 33. Then Pilate 
entered into the judgment 
hall again, and called Jesus, 
and said unto him. Art thou 
the King of the Jews? 

34. Jesus answered him, 
Sayest thou this thing of thy- 
self, or did others tell it thee 
of me? 

35. Pilate answered, Am I 
a Jew? Thine own nation 
and the chief priests have 
delivered thee unto me : what 
hast thou done ? 

36. Jesus answered. My 
kingdom is not of this world : 
if my kingdom were of this 
world, then would my serv- 
ants fight, that I should not be 
delivered to the Jews : but 
now is my kingdom not from 
hence. 

37. Pilate therefore said 
unto him, Art thou a king 
then? Jesus answered. Thou 
sayest that I am a king. To 
this end was I born, and for 
this cause came I into the 
world, that I should bear wit- 
ness unto the truth. Every 
one that is of the truth hear- 
eth my voice. 

38. Pilate saith unto him. 
What is truth? And when 
he had said this, he went out 
again unto the Jews, and 
saith unto them, I find in him 
no fault at all. 

MARK 15. 3. And the chief 
priests accused him of many 
things: but he answered 
nothing. 

4. And Pilate asked him 
again, saying, Answerest thou 
nothing ? behold how many 
things they witness against 
thee. 



140 



MARK 15. 5. But Jesus yet 
answered nothing; so that 
Pilate marvelled. 

SECTION 70. 

LUKE 23. 4. Then said Pi- 
late to the chief priests and 
to the people, I find no fault 
in this man. 

5. And they were the more 
fierce, saying, He stirreth up 
the people throughout all 
Jewry, beginning from Gali- 
lee to this place. 

6. When Pilate heard of 
Galilee, he asked whether the 
man were a Galilsean. 

7. And as soon as he knew 
that he belonged unto Herod's 
jurisdiction, he sent him to 
Herod, who himself also was 
at Jerusalem at that time. 

8. And when Herod saw 
Jesus, he was exceeding glad : 
for he was desirous to see him 
of a long season, because he 
had heard many things of him ; 
and he hoped to have seen 
some miracle done by him. 

9. Then he questioned with 
him in many words ; but he 
answered him nothing. 

10. And the chief priests 
and scribes stood and vehe- 
mently accused him. 

11. And Herod with his 
men of war set him at nought, 
and mocked him, and sent 
him again to Pilate. 

12. And the same day Pi- 
late and Herod were made 
friends together : for before 
they were at enmity between 
themselves. 

13. And Pilate, when he 
had called together the chief 



priests and the rulers and the 
people, 

14. Said unto them, Ye 
have brought this man unto 
me, as one that perverteth the 
people : and, behold, I, halving 
examined him before you, 
have found no fault in this 
man touching those things 
whereof ye accuse him : 

15. No, nor yet Herod : for 
I sent you to him ; and, lo, 
nothing worthy of death is 
done unto him. 

16. I will therefore chas- 
tise him, and release him. 

17. (For of necessity he 
must release one unto them at 
the feast.) 

MARK 15. 6. One prisoner, 
whomsoever they desired. 

7. And there was one 
named Barabbas, which lay 
bound with them that had 
made insurrection with him, 
who had committed murder 
in the insurrection. 

8. And the multitude cry- 
ing aloud began to desire him 
to do as he had ever done 
unto them. 

9. But Pilate answered 
them, saying. Will ye that I 
release unto you the King of 
the Jews? 

10. For he knew that the 
chief priests had delivered 
him for envy. 

MATT. 27. 19. When he 
was set down on the judgment 
seat, his wife sent unto him, 
saying, Have thou nothing to 
do with that just man : for I 
have suffered many things 
this day in a dream because 
of him. 
20. But the chief priests 



141 



and elders persuaded the mul- 
titude that they should ask 
Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. 
MATT. 27. 21. The gov- 
ernor answered and said unto 
them, Whether of the twain 
will ye that I release unto 
you? 

LUKE 23. 18. And they 
cried out all at once, saying, 
Away with this man, and re- 
lease unto us Barabbas. 
MATT. 27. 22. Pilate saith 
unto them, What shall I do 
then with Jesus which is called 
Christ? They all say unto 
him, Let him be crucified. 
LUKE 23. 20. Pilate there- 
fore, willing to release Jesus, 
spake again to them. 
MARK 15. 12. What will 
ye then that I shall do unto 
him whom ye call the King of 
the Jews ? 

LUKE 23. 21. But they 
cried, saying, Crucify him, 
crucify him. 

22, And he said unto them 
the third time. Why, what 
evil hath he done ? I have 
found no cause of death in 
him : I will therefore chas- 
tise him, and let him go. 

23. And they were instant 
with loud voices, requiring 
that he might be crucified. 
And the voices of them and 
of the chief priests prevailed. 
MATT. 27. 24. When Pi- 
late saw that he could prevail 
nothing, but that rather a tu- 
mult was made, he took water, 
and washed his hands before 
the multitude, saying, I am 
innocent of the blood of this 
just person : see ye to it. 

25. Then answered all the 



people, and said, His blood be 
on us, and on our children. 
LUKE 23. 24. And Pilate 
gave sentence that it should 
be as they required. 

25. And he released unto 
them him that for sedition 
and murder was cast into 
prison, whom they had de- 

MARK 15. 15. And deliv- 
ered Jesus, when he had 
scourged him, to be crucified. 

SECTION 71. 

MARK 15. 16. And the sol- 
diers led him away into the 
hall, called Praetorium ; and 
they call together the whole 
band. 

MATT. 27. 28. And they 

stripped him, and 

MARK 15. 17. Clothed him 

with purple, and platted a 

crown of thorns, and put it 

about his head, 

MATT. 27. 29. And a reed 

in his right hand, 

MARK 15. 18. And began 

to salute him, Hail, King of 

the Jews ! 

19. And they smote him on 
the head with a reed, and did 
spit upon him, and bowing 
their knees worshipped him. 
JOHN 19. 4. Pilate there- 
fore went forth again, and 
saith unto them. Behold, I 
bring him forth to you, that 
ye may know that I find no 
fault in him. 

5. Then came Jesus forth, 
wearing the crown of thorns, 
and the purple robe. And Pi- 
late saith unto them, Behold 
the man ! 



142 



JOHN 19. 6, When the 
chief priests therefore and 
officers saw him, they cried 
out, saying, Crucify him, cru- 
cify him. Pilate saith unto 
them. Take ye him, and cru- 
cify him ; for I find no fault 
in him. 

7. The Jews answered him. 
We have a law, and by our 
law he ought to die, because 
he made himself the Son of 
God. 

8. When Pilate therefore 
heard that saying, he was the 
more afraid ; 

9. And went again into the 
judgment hall, and saith unto 
Jesus, Whence art thou ? But 
Jesus gave him no answer. 

10. Then saith Pilate unto 
him, Speakest thou not unto 
me ? knowest thou not that I 
have power to crucify thee, 
and have power to release 
thee? 

11. Jesus answered. Thou 
couldest have no power at all 
against me, except it were 
given thee from above : there- 
fore he that delivered me un- 
to thee hath the greater sin. 

12. And from thenceforth 
Pilate sought to release him : 
but the Jews cried out, say- 
ing. If thou let this man go, 
thou art not Csesar^s friend : 
whosoever maketh himself a 
king speaketh against Caesar. 

13. When Pilate therefore 
heard that saying, he brought 
Jesus forth, and sat down in 
the judgment seat in a place 
that is called the Pavement, 
but in the Hebrew, Gabba- 
iha. 

14. And it was the prepara- 



tion of the passover, and 
about the sixth hour : and he 
saith unto the Jews, Behold 
your King ! 

15. But they cried out, Away 
with him, away with him, cru- 
cify him. Pilate saith unto 
them. Shall I crucify your 
King? The chief priests an- 
swered. We have no king but 
Csesar. 

16. Then delivered he him 
therefore unto them to be cru- 
cified. And they took Jesus, 
and led him away. 
MARK 15. 20. And when 
they had mocked him, they 
took off the purple from him, 
and put his own clothes on 
him, and led him out to crucify 
him. 

21. And they compel one 
Simon a Cyrenian, who passed 
by, coming out of the coun- 
try, the father of Alexander 
and Rufus, to bear his cross. 
LUKE 23. 26. And on him 
they laid the cross, that he 
might bear it after Jesus. 

27. And there followed him 
a great company of people, 
and of women, which also be- 
wailed and lamented him. 

28. But Jesus turning unto 
them said, Daughters of Je- 
rusalem, weep not for me, but 
weep for yourselves, and for 
your children. 

29. For, behold, the days 
are coming, in the which they 
shall say. Blessed are the bar- 
ren, and the wombs that never 
bare, and the paps which 
never gave suck. 

30. Then shall they begin to 
say to the mountains. Fall on 
us ; and to the hills; Cover us. 



143 



LUKE 23. 31. For if they 
do these things in a green tree, 
what shall be done in the dry ? 

32. And there were also 
two other, malefactors, led 
with him to be put to death. 
MATT. 27. 33. And when 
they were come unto a place 
called Golgotha, that is to say, 
A place of a skull, 
LUKE 23. 33. The place, 
which is called Calvary, 
MATT. 27. 34. They gave 
him vinegar to drink mingled 
with gall : and when he had 
tasted thereof, he would not 
drink. 

SECTION 72. 

MARK 15. 25. Audit was 
the third hour, and they cru- 
cified him. 

27. And with him they cru- 
cify two thieves ; the one on 
his right hand, and the other 
on his left. 

28. And the scripture was 
fulfilled, which saith. And he 
was numbered with the trans- 
gressors. 

LUKE 23. 34. Then said 
Jesus, Father, forgive them ; 
for they know not what they 
do. 

MATT. 27. 36. And sitting 
down they watched him there ; 
JOHN 19. 19. And Pilate 
wrote a title, and put 
MATT. 27. 37. Up over his 
head his accusation 
JOHN I 9. 19. On the cross. 
And the writing was, JESUS 
OF NAZARETH THE 
KING OF THE JEWS. 

20. This title then read 
many of the Jews ; for the 



place where Jesus was cruci- 
fied was nigh to the city : and 
it was written in Hebrew, and 
Greek, and Latin. 

21. Then said the chief 
priests of the J ews to Pilate, 
Write not, The King of the 
Jews ; but that he said, I am 
King of the Jews. 

22. Pilate answered. What 
I have written I have writ- 
ten. 

23. Then the soldiers, when 
they had crucified Jesus, took 
his garments, and made four 
parts, to every soldier a part ; 
and also his coat : now the 
coat was without seam, woven 
from the top throughout. 

24. They said therefore 
among themselves. Let us not 
rend it, but cast lots for it, 
whose it shall be : that the 
scripture might be fulfilled, 
which saith. They parted my 
raiment among them, and for 
my vesture they did cast lots. 
These things therefore the 
soldiers did. 

MATT. 27. 39. And they 
that passed by reviled him, 
wagging their heads, 

40. And saying. Thou that 
destroyest the temple, and 
buildest it in three days, save 
thyself. If thou be the Son 
of God, come down from the 
cross. 

41. Likewise also the chief 
priests mocking him, with the 
scribes and elders, said, 

42. He saved others ; him- 
self he cannot save. If he 
be the King of Israel, let 
him now come down from the 
cross, and we will believe him. 

43. He trusted in God ; let 



144 



him deliver him now, if he 
will have him ; for he said, I 
am the Son of God. 
LUKE 23. 35. And the 
people stood beholding. 

36. And the soldiers also 
mocked him, coming to him, 
and offering him vinegar, 

37. And saying, If thou be 
the King of the Jews, save 
thyself. 

39. And one of the malefac- 
tors which were hanged railed 
on him, saying, If thou be 
Christ, save thyself and us. 

40. But the other answer- 
ing rebuked him, saying, Dost 
not thou fear God, seeing thou 
art in the same condemnation ? 

41. And we indeed justly; for 
we receive the due reward of 
our deeds : but this man hath 
done nothing amiss. 

42. And he said unto Jesus, 
Lord, remember me when 
thou comest into thy king- 
dom. 

43. And Jesus said unto 
him, Verily I say unto thee. 
To day shalt thou be with me 
in paradise. 

JOHN I 9. 25. Now there 
stood by the cross of Jesus 
his mother, and his mother's 
sister, Mary the wife of Cle- 
ophas, and Mary Magdalene. 

26. When Jesus therefore 
saw his mother, and the dis- 
ciple standing by, whom he 
loved, he saith unto his 
mother, Woman, behold thy 
son ! 

27. Then saith he to the 
disciple. Behold thy mother ! 
And from that hour that dis- 
ciple took her unto his own 
home. 



MATT. 27. 45. Now from 
the sixth hour there was dark- 
ness over all the land unto 
the ninth hour. 

46. And about the ninth 
hour Jesus cried with a loud 
voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama 
sabachthani? that is to say, 
My God, my God, why hast 
thou forsaken me ? 

47. Some of them that 
stood there, when they heard 
that, said, Thisyoaan calleth for 
Elias. 

JOHN 19. 28. After this, 
Jesus knowing that all things 
were now accomplished, that 
the scripture might be ful- 
filled, saith, I thirst. 

29. Now there was set a 
vessel full of vinegar: and they 
filled a spunge with vinegar, 
and put it upon hyssop, and 
put it to his mouth. 
MATT. 27. 49. The rest 
said. Let be, let us see whether 
Elias will come to save him. 
LUKE 23. 46. And when 
Jesus had cried with a loud 
voice, he said, 

JOHN 19. 30. It is finished: 
LUKE 23. 46. Father, into 
thy hands I commend my 
spirit : 

JOHN 19. 30. And he 

bowed his head, and gave up 
the ghost. 

MATT. 27, 51. And, be- 
hold, the vail of the temple 
was rent in twain from the top 
to the bottom ; and the earth 
did quake, and the rocks rent; 

52. And the graves were 
opened ; and many bodies of 
the saints which slept arose, 

53. And came out of the 
graves after his resurrection, 



145 



and went into the holy city, 
and appeared unto many. 
MATT. 27. 54. Now when 
the centurion, and they that 
were with him, watching Jesus, 
saw the earthquake, and those 
things that were done, they 
feared greatly, saying, Truly 
this was the Son of God. 

55. And many women were 
there beholding afar off, which 
followed Jesus from Galilee, 
ministering unto him : 

56. Among which was Mary 
Magdalene, and Mary the 
mother of James and Joses, 
and the mother of Zebedee's 
children. 

SECTION 73. 

LUKE 23. 48. And all the 

people that came together to 
that sight, beholding the things 
which were done, smote their 
breasts, and returned. 
JOHN 19. 31. The Jews 
therefore, because it was the 
preparation, that the bodies 
should not -remain upon the 
cross on the sabbath day, (for 
that sabbath day was an high 
day,) besought Filate that their 
legs might be broken, and that 
they might be taken away. 

32. Then came the soldiers, 
and brake the legs of the first, 
and of the other wkich was 
crucified with him. 

33. But when they came to 
Jesus, and saw that he was 
dead already, they brake not 
his legs : 

34. But one of the soldiers 
with a spear pierced his side, 
and forthwith came there out 
blood and water. 



35. And he that saw it bare 
record, and his record is true : 
and he knoweth that he saith 
true, that ye might believe. 

36. For these things were 
done, that the scripture should 
be fulfilled, A bone of him 
shall not be broken. 

37. And again another 
scripture saith, They shall 
look on him whom they 
pierced. 

MARK 15. 42. And now 

when the even was come, be- 
cause it was the preparation, 
that is, the day before the sab- 
bath, 

43. Josephof Arimathsea, an 
honourable counsellor, 
LUKE 23. 50. Agoodman, 
and a just : 

51. (The same had not con- 
sented to the counsel aud deed 
of them ;) 

MARK 15. 43. Which also 
waited for the kingdom of 

God, 

JOHN 19. 38. Being a dis- 
ciple of Jesus, but secretly for 
fear of the Jews, 
MARK 15. 43. Came, and 
went in boldly unto Pilate, and 
craved the body of Jesus. 

44. And Pilate marvelled if 
he were already dead : and 
calling unto him the centurion, 
he asked him whether he had 
been any while dead. 

45. And when he knew it 
of the centurion, he gave the 
body to Joseph. 

JOHN 19. 38. He came 
therefore, and took the body 
of Jesus. 

MARK 15. 46. And he 
bought fine linen. 



146 



JOHN 19. 39. And there 
came also Mcodemus, which 
at the first came to Jesus by- 
night, and brought a mixture 
of myrrh and aloes, about an 
hundred pound weight. 

40. Then took they the body 
of Jesus, and wound it in linen 
clothes with the spices, as the 
manner of the Jews is to bury. 

41. Now in the place where 
he was crucified there was a 
garden ; and in the garden a 
new sepulchre, wherein was 
never man yet laid. 
MATT. 27. 59. And when 
Joseph had taken the body, he 

60. Laid it in his own new 
tomb, which he had hewn out 
in the rock : and he rolled a 
great stone to the door of the 
sepulchre, and departed. 
JOHN 19, 42. There laid 
they Jesus therefore because 
of the Jews' preparation day ; 
for the sepulchre was nigh at 
hand. 

LUKE 23. 65. And the wo- 
men also, which came with 
him from Galilee, followed 
after, and beheld the sepul- 
chre, and how his body was 
laid. 

56. And they returned, and 
prepared spices and oint- 
ments ; and rested the sabbath 
day according to the com- 
mandment. 

MATT. 27 . 62. Now the 

next day, that followed the 
day of the preparation, the 
chief priests and Pharisees 
came together unto Pilate, 

63. Saying, Sir, we remem- 
ber that that deceiver said, 
while he was yet alive, After 
three days I will rise again. 



64. Command therefore that 
the sepulchre be made sure 
until the third day, lest his 
disciples come by night, and 
steal him away, and say unto 
the people. He is risen from 
the dead : so the last error 
shall be worse than the first. 

65. Pilate said unto them, 
Ye have a watch : go your 
way, make it as sure as ye can. 

66. So they went, and made 
the sepulchre sure, sealing the 
stone, and setting a watch. 

SECTION 74. 

MARK 16. 1. And when the 
sabbath was past, Mary Mag- 
dalene, and Mary the mother 
of James, and Salome, had 
bought sweet spices, that they 
might come and anoint him. 
MATT, 28. 2. And, behold, 
there was a great earthquake : 
for the angel of the Lord de- 
scended from heaven, and 
came and rolled back the stone 
from the door, and sat upon it. 

3. His countenance was like 
lightning, and his raiment 
white as snow : 

4. And for fear of him the 
keepers did shake, and became 
as dead men. 

JOHN 20. 1. The first day 
of the week cometh Mary 
Magdalene early, when it was 
yet dark, unto the sepulchre, 
LUKE 24. L Bringing the 
spices which they had pre- 
pared, and certain others with 
them. 

MARK 16. 3. And they said 
among themselves, Who shall 
roll us away the stone from 
the door of the sepulchre ? 



147 



MARK I 6. 4. And when 
they looked, they saw that 
the stone was rolled away : 
for it was very great. 
JOHN 20. 2. Then she 
runneth, and cometh to Simon 
Peter, and to the other dis- 
ciple, whom Jesus loved, and 
saith unto them, They have 
taken away the Lord out of 
the sepulchre, and we know 
not where they have laid him. 
LUKE 24. 3. And they en- 
tered in, and found not the 
body of the Lord Jesus. 

4. And it came to pass, as 
they were much perplexed 
thereabout, behold, two men 
stood by them in shining gar- 
ments : 

5. And as they were afraid, 
and bowed down their faces to 
the earth, they 

MATT. 28. 5. Answered 
and said unto the women. Fear 
not ye : 

MARK I 6. 6. Ye seek Je- 
sus of Nazareth, which was 
crucified : he is risen ; he is 
not here : behold the place 
where they laid him. 

7. But go your way, tell his 
disciples and Peter that he 
goeth before you into Galilee : 
there shall ye see him, as he 
said unto you. 

LUKE 24. 6. Kemember 
how he spake unto you when 
he was yet in Galilee, 

7. Saying, The Son of man 
must be delivered into the 
hands of sinful men, and be 
crucified, and the third day 
rise again. 

8. And they remembered 
his words, 

MATT. 28. 8. And they de- 



parted quickly from the sepul- 
chre with fear and great joy ; 
MARK 16. 8. Neither said 
they any thing to any man ; 
for they were afraid. 
JOHN 20. 3. Peter there- 
fore went forth, and that other 
disciple, and came to the 
sepulchre. 

4. So they ran both togeth- 
er : and the other disciple did 
outrun Peter, and came first 
to the sepulchre. 

5. And he stooping down, 
and looking in, saw the linen 
clothes lying ; yet went he not 
in. 

6. Then cometh Simon Pe- 
ter following him, and went 
into the sepulchre, and seeth 
the linen clothes lie, 

7. And the napkin, that was 
about his head, not lying with 
the linen clothes, but wrapped 
together in a place by itself. 

8. Then went in also that 
other disciple, which came 
first to the sepulchre., and he 
saw, and believed. 

9. For as yet they knew not 
the scripture, that he must rise 
again from the dead. 

10. Then the disciples went 
away again unto their own 
home. 

11. But Mary stood without 
at the sepulchre weeping : and 
as she wept, she stooped down, 
and looked into the sepulchre, 

12. And seeth two angels in 
white sitting, the one at the 
head, and the other at the 
feet, where the body of Jesus 
had lain. 

13. And they say unto her, 
Woman, why weepest thou? 
She saith unto them, Because 



148 



they have taken away my 
Lord, and I know not where 
they have laid him. 
JOHN 20. 14. And when 
she had thus said, she turned 
herself back, and saw Jesus 
standing, and knew not that 
it was Jesus. 

15. Jesus saith unto her. 
Woman, why weepest thou? 
whom seekest thou ? She, sup- 
posing him to be the gardener, 
saith unto him. Sir, if thou 
have borne him hence, tell me 
where thou hast laid him, and 
I will take him away. 

16. Jesus saith unto her, 
Mary. She turned herself, 
and saith unto him, Rabboni ; 
which is to say, Master. 
MARK 16. 9. Reappeared 
first to Mary Magdalene, out of 
whom he had cast seven devils. 
JOHN 20. 17. Jesus saith 
unto her, Touch me not ; for 
I am not yet ascended to my 
Father : but go to my breth- 
ren, and say unto them, I as- 
cend unto my Father, and 
your Father ; and to my God, 
and your God. 

MARK 16. 10. And she 
went and told them that had 
been with him, as they mourn- [ 
ed and wept. 

MATT. 28. 9. And as they 
went to tell his disciples, be- 
hold, J esus met them, saying, 
All hail. And they came and 
held him by the feet, and wor- 
shipped him. 

10. Then said Jesus unto 
them. Be not afraid : go tell 
my brethren that they go into 
Galilee, and there shall they 
see me. 

11. Now when they were 



going, behold, some of the 
watch came into the city, and 
shewed unto the chief priests 
all the things that were done. 

12. And when they were as- 
sembled with the elders, and 
had taken counsel, they gave 
large money unto the soldiers, 

18. Saying, Say ye, His dis- 
ciples came by night, and stole 
him away while we slept. 

14. And if this come to the 
governor's ears, we will per- 
suade him, and secure you. 

15. So they took the money, 
and did as they were taught : 
and this saying is commonly 
reported among the Jews until 
this day. 

LUKE 24. 8. And they 

9. Eeturned from the sepul- 
chre, and told all these things 
unto the eleven, and to all the 
rest. 

10. It was Mary Magdalene, 
and Joanna, and Mary the 
mother of James, and other 
women that were with them, 
which told these things unto 
the apostles. 

11. And their words seemed 
to them as idle tales, and they 
believed them not. 

! COR. 15. 5. And he was 
seen of Cephas. 

SECTION 75. 

LUKE 24. 13. And, behold, 
two of them went that same 
day to a village called Em- 
maus, which was from Jeru- 
salem about threescore fur- 
longs. 

14. And they talked togeth- 
er of all these things which 
had happened. 



149 



LUKE 24. 15. And it came 
to pass, that, while they com- 
muned together and reasoned, 
Jesus himself drew near, and 
went with them. 

16. But their eyes were 
hold en that they should not 
know him, 

17. And he said unto them. 
What manner of communica- 
tions are these that ye have 
one to another, as ye walk, and 
are sad ? 

18. And the one of them, 
whose name was Cleopas, an- 
swering said unto him. Art 
thou only a stranger in Jeru- 
salem, and hast not known the 
things which are come to pass 
there in these days ? 

19. And he said unto them. 
What things? And they said 
unto him. Concerning Jesus 
of Nazareth, which was a 
prophet mighty in deed and 
word before God and all the 
people : 

20. And how the chief 
priests and our rulers deliver- 
ed him to be condemned to 
death, and have crucified him. 

21. But we trusted that it 
had been he which should 
have redeemed Israel : and 
beside all this, to day is the 
third day since these things 
were done. 

22. Yea, and certain women 
also of our company made us 
astonished, which were early 
at the sepulchre; 

23. And when- they found 
not his body, they came, say- 
ing, that they had also seen a 
vision of angels, which said 
that he was alive. 

24. And certain of them 



which were with us went to 
the sepulchre, and found it 
even so as the women had 
said : but him they saw not. 

25. Then he said unto them, 
O fools, and slow of heart to 
believe all that the prophets 
have spoken : 

26. Ought not Christ to have 
suffered these things, and to 
enter into his glory ? 

27. And beginning at Moses 
and all the prophets, be ex- 
pounded unto them in all the 
scriptures the things concern- 
ing himself. 

28. And they drew nigh 
unto the village, whither they 
went : and he made as though 
he would have gone further. 

29. But they constrained 
him, saying. Abide .with us: 
for it is toward evening, and 
the day is far spent. And he 
went in to tarry with them. 

30. And it came to pass, as 
he sat at meat with them, he 
took bread, and blessed it, and 
brake, and gave to them. 

31. And their eyes were 
opened, and they knew him ; 
and he vanished out of their 
sight. 

32. And they said one to 
another, Did not our heart 
burn within us, while he talked 
with us by the way, and while 
he opened to us the scriptures ? 

33. And they rose up the 
same hour, and returned to 
Jerusalem, and found the 
eleven gathered together, and 
them that were with them, 

34. Saying, The Lord is 
risen indeed, and hath ap- 
peared to Simon. 

35. And they told what 



150 



things were done in the way, 
and how he was known of 
them in breaking of bread. 
JOHN 20. 19. Then the 
same day at evening, being the 
first day of the week, when the 
doors were shut where the dis- 
ciples were assembled for fear 
of the Jews, came Jesus 
MARK I 6. 14. Unto the 
eleven as they sat at meat, and 
upbraided them with their un- 
belief and hardness of heart, 
because they believed not 
them which had seen him 
after he was risen. 
JOHN 20. 19. And stood 
in the midst, and saith unto 
them, Peace be unto you. 
LUKE 24. 37. But they 
were terrified and affrighted, 
and supposed that they had 
seen a spirit. 

38. And he said unto them. 
Why are ye troubled? and 
why do thoughts arise in your 
hearts ? 

39. Behold my hands and 
my feet, that it is I myself : 
handle me, and see ; for a 
spirit hath not flesh and bones, 
as ye see me have. 

40. And when he had thus 
spoken, he shewed them his 
hands and his feet. 
JOHN 20. 20. Andhisside. 
Then were the disciples glad, 
when they saw the Lord. 
LUKE 24. 41. And while 
they yet believed not for joy, 
and wondered, he said unto 
them. Have ye here any meat ? 

42. And they gave him a 
piece of a broiled fish, and of 
an honeycomb. 

43. And he took it, and did 
eat before them. 



44. And he said unto them. 
These are the words which I 
spake unto you, while I was 
yet with you, that all things 
must be fulfilled, which were 
written in the law of Moses, 
and in the prophets, and in 
the psalms, concerning me. 

45. Then opened he their 
understanding, that they 
might understand the script- 
ures, 

* 46. And said unto them, 
Thus it is written, and thus it 
behoved Christ to suffer, and 
to rise from the dead the third 
day : 

47. And that repentance 
and remission of sins should 
be preached in his name 
among all nations, beginning 
at Jerusalem. 

48. And ye are witnesses of 
these things. 

49. And, behold, I send the 
promise of my Father upon 
you : but tarry ye in the city 
of Jerusalem, until ye be en- 
dued with power from on 
high. 

MARK 16. 15. And he said 
unto them. Go ye into all the 
world, and preach the gospel 
to every creature. 

16. He that believeth and 
is baptized shall be saved ; but 
he that believeth not shall be 
damned. 

17. And these signs shall 
follow them that believe ; In 
my name shall they cast out 
devils ; they shall speak with 
new tongues ; 

18. They shall take up ser- 
pents ; and if they drink any 
deadly thing, it shall not hurt 
them ; they shall lay hands on 



151 



the sick, and they shall re- 
cover. 

JOHN 20. 21. Then said 
Jesus to them again, Peace be 
unto you : as my Father hath 
sent me, even so send I you. 

22. And when he had said 
this, he breathed on them, and 
saith unto them, Receive ye 
the Holy Ghost : 

23. Whose soever sins ye 
remit, they are remitted unto 
them ; and whose soever sins 
ye retain, they are retained. 

24. But Thomas, one of the 
twelve, called Didymus, was 
not with them when Jesus 
came. 

25. The other disciples 
therefore said unto him, We 
have seen the Lord. But he 
said unto them. Except I shall 
see in his hands the print of 
the nails, and put my finger 
into the print of the nails, and 
thrust my hand into his side, 
I will not believe. 

26. And after eight days 
again his disciples were with- 
in, and Thomas with them : 
then came Jesus, the doors be- 
ing shut, and stood in the 
midst, and said, Peace be unto 
you. 

27. Then saith he to Thom- 
as, Reach hither thy finger, 
and behold my hands ; and 
reach hither thy hand, and 
thrust it into my side : and be 
not faithless, but believing. 

28. And Thomas answered 
and said unto him, My Lord 
and my God. 

29. Jesus saith unto him, 
Thomas, because thou hast 
seen me, thou hast believed : 
blessed are they that have not 



seen, and yet have believed. 

30. And many other signs 
truly did Jesus in the presence 
of his disciples, which are not 
written in this book : 

31. But these are written, 
that ye might believe that 
Jesus is the Christ, the Son of 
God ; and that believing ye 
might have life through his 
name. 

SECTION 76. • 

JOHN 21. 1. After these 
things Jesus shewed himself 
again to the disciples at the 
sea of Tiberias ; and on this 
wise shewed he himself. 

2. There were together Si- 
mon Peter, and Thomas called 
Didymus, and Nathanael of 
Cana in Galilee, and the sons 
of Zebedee, and two other of 
his disciples. 

3. Simon Peter saith unto 
them, I go a fishing. They 
say unto him, We also go with 
thee. They went forth, and 
entered into a ship immedi- 
ately ; and that night they 
caught nothing. 

4. But when the morning 
was now come, Jesus stood on 
the shore : but the disciples 
knew not that it was Jesus. 

5. Then Jesus saith unto 
them, Children, have ye any 
meat? They answered him, 
No. 

6. And he said unto them, 
Cast the net on the right side 
of the ship, and ye shall find. 
They cast therefore, and now 
they were not able to draw it 
for the multitude of fishes. 



152 



JOHN 21. 7. Therefore 
that disciple whom Jesus 
loved saith unto Peter, It is 
the Lord. Now when Simon 
Peter heard that it was the 
Lord, he girt his fisher's coat 
unto him, (for he was naked,) 
and did cast himself into the 
sea. 

8. And the other disciples 
came in a little ship ; (for they 
were not far from land, but as 
it were two hundred cubits,) 
dragging the net with fishes. 

9. As soon then as thej 
were come to land, thej saw a 
fire of coals there, and fish 
laid thereon, and bread. 

10. Jesus saith unto them, 
Bring of the fish which ye 
have now caught. 

11. Simon Peter went up, 
and drew the net to land full 
of great fishes, an hundred 
and fifty and three : and for 
all there were so many, yet 
was not the net broken. 

12. Jesus saith unto them, 
Come and dine. And none of 
the disciples durst ask him. 
Who art thou? knowing that 
it was the Lord. 

13. Jesus then cometh, and 
taketh bread, and giveth them, 
and fish likewise. 

14. This is now the third 
time that Jesus shewed him- 
self to his disciples, after that 
he was risen from the dead. 

15. So when they had dined, 
Jesus saith to Simon Peter, 
Simon, son of Jonas, lovest 
thou me more than these ? He 
saith unto him. Yea, Lord ; 
thou knowest that I love thee. 
He saith unto him, Feed my 
lambs. 



16. He saith to him again 
the second time, Simon, son of 
Jonas, lovest thou me? He 
saith unto him. Yea, Lord ; 
thou knowest that I love thee. 
He saith unto him, Feed my 
sheep. 

17. He saith unto him the 
third time, Simon, son of Jo- 
nas, lovest thou me? Peter was 
grieved because he said unto 
him the third time, Lovest 
thou me ? And he said unto 
him, Lord, thou knowest all 
things; thou knowest that I 
love thee. Jesus saith unto 
him. Feed my sheep. 

18. Verily, verily, I say 
unto thee, When thou wast 
young, thou girdedst thyself, 
and walkedst whither thou 
wouldest : but when thou shalt 
be old, thou shalt stretch forth 
thy hands, and another shall 
gird thee, and carry thee 
whither thou wouldest not. 

19. This spake he, signify- 
ing by what death he should 
glorify God. And when he 
had spoken this, he saith unto 
him, Follow me. 

20. Then Peter, turning 
about, seeth the disciple whom 
Jesus loved following ; which 
also leaned on his breast at 
supper, and said. Lord, which 
is he that betrayeth thee? 

21. Peter seeing him saith 
to Jesus, Lord, and what thall 
this man do ? 

22. Jesus saith unto him, 
If I will that he tarry till I 
come, what is that to thee? 
follow thou me. 

23. Then went this saying 
abroad among the brethren, 
that that disciple should not 



153 



die : yet Jesus said not unto 
him, He shall not die ; but, If 
I will that he tarrj till I come, 
what is that to thee ? 
JOHN 21 . 24. This is the 
disciple which testifieth of 
these things, and wrote these 
things : and we know that his 
testimony is true. 

SECTION 77. 

MATT. 28. 16. Then the 
eleven disciples went away 
into Galilee, into a mountain 
where Jesus had appointed 
them. 

17. And when they saw him, 
they worshipped him ; but 
some doubted. 

18. And Jesus came and 
spake unto them, saying. All 
power is given unto me in 
heaven and in earth. 

19. Go ye therefore, and 
teach all nations, baptizing 
them in the name of the Fa- 
ther, and of the Son, and of 
the Holy Ghost : 

20. Teaching them to ob- 
serve all things whatsoever I 
have commanded you : and, 
lo, I am with you alway, even 
unto the end of the world. 
Amen. 

I COR. 15. 6. After that, 
he was seen of above five 
hundred brethren at once ; of 
whom the greater part remain 
unto this present, but some are 
fallen asleep. 

7. After that, he was seen 
of James ; then of all the 
apostles. 

ACTS I . 3. To whom also 
he shewed himself alive after 
his passion by many infallible 



proofs, being seen of them 
forty days, and speaking of 
the things pertaining to the 
kingdom of God :

[From the Sunday School Times.] 
THE VALUE OF A MONOTESSARON. 

BY PKOFESSOR AMOS E. WELLS. 

Far above concordance, Bible index, Bible dictionary, 
commentary, I count the monotessaron the very best help 
to Bible study. The monotessaron, it might be parentheti- 
cally remarked for the benefit of the lexicon-lazy folk, is a 
harmony of the four Gospels so arranged as to make one 
continuous and complete story, in Scripture words alone. 
Fie ! " says one reviewer of a recent monotessaron, 

we have no use for such compilations. God gave us the 
Gospel in four separate books. He could have put it in 
one if it had been best that way.'' This is an argument 
which would make a heretic of the locomotive, printing 
press, and any other rearrangement of God-given matter. 
Having the four Gospels, we may have one. If God had 
given us only one, we could not have the four. 

Christians will always read the four separate Gospels, in 
order to see Christ from four separate points of view, 
through four separate individualities, that their differences 
as well as their agreements may make the picture stand out 
more vividly, much as the two diverse flat portions of a 
stereoscope viewcombine into perfect perspective and reality. 

But this combining is necessary, and it may be truly said, 
that what we lose, in reading the monotessaron, of the per- 
sonality of John or Luke, we more than gain in the 
increased vividness of the person of Christ. Speaking for 
one, I may say that through recent first acquaintance with 
a monotessaron, that matchless life has shone upon me 
with an entire splendor of beauty and majesty before un- 
imagined. 

Well, that is my experience of the value of a monotes- 
saron. It has given the life and person of Christ marvelous 
vividness, setting facts in their due order, location, relations, 
and proportions, while the facility it affords is constant in- 
spiration to fresh, delightful study. This is the experience 
of thousands, and yet I am sure that among the readers of 
this paperjare many thousands who are yet unacquainted 
with this Bible-help. Not only every Sunday School 
teacher, but every Bible scholar, should own one.

TESTIMONIALS. 



Pittsburgh, East End, Pa. 
The plan on which this continuous narrative of the human history of 
Jesus, as found in the several Gospels, is arranged, is one that has many 
times entered my mind as promising additional attractiveness to the 
youngj as well as much utility to other readers of the Gospels. I have 
many times felt the absence of such a useful book in my own work, for 
I think that any student of the records of God's divine Son cannot fail 
to be conscious that there is a large place in the homes of the people for 
such a helpful work as this. 

I therefore desire for^it a wide circulation, that by its unique and 
useful character it may win many friends to Jesus.

I have read the greater part of the " Four Gospels in One," and 
take pleasure in endorsing it as a useful arrangement of the Scripture 
narrative. . Samuel H. Moore, 

Wilkinsburg Presbyterian Church, 



Pittsburgh, Pa. 

My Dear Sir :— I have looked over your MSS. with interest. Such a 
book, cast in popular form, meant for readers of the English Bible, and 
affording them an opportunity to read the continuous story of the life of 
our Lord, cannot weJl help being of Christian service. The outline of 
the Scripture story follows in your pages the order of the Evangelists 
themselves. And until the scholars are entirely agreed (as they are not 
now) upon the exact chronological order, it seems to me that such an 
arrangement as yours is the best. The probability is that St. Matthew, 
St. Mark, St. Luke and St. John knew more about the order of events 
than we are likely to know. I wish you all success in your excellent 
undertaking, and remain 

Faithfully yours, 

George Hodges, 

Rector Calvary Church. 



Pittsburgh, Pa. 

I have not, for the want of time, been able to examine this work as it 
deserves, and yet, from what I have learned from the partial examina- 
tion made, I believe it will be quite a help to all who wish to know the 
Story of the Cross. L. McGuire, 

Pastor Fifth Avenue M . E. Church.

Shady Aye. Baptist Church,) 
Pittsburgh, Pa. j 
My Dear Sir :— I have examined your compilation of the four Gos- 
pels in which you have preserved the expressions and facts peculiar to 
each Evangelist and omitted their repetitions. Your work shows that 
you have done this carefully and conscientiously. The value of the 
results is self-evident. The l our narratives are really reduced to one, 
and opportunity is afforded, at a minimum of labor to the student and 
reader, of making the fuller account in one supply what is omitted or 
briefly stated in another. 

Your book will certainly be a valuable one for all students of the Gos- 
pels. "While I am familiar with other books of siuiilar nature, I know 
of no one who has adopted ^ust your plan, and certainly no other such 
work has been offered at a price that places it within the reach of all. 
Both for your sake and for the sake of the good that your book will do, 
I wish you most abundant success in its circulation. 

Most fraternally yours, 

^y. A. Stanton, Pastor. 



Pittsburgh, Pa. 
I have examined the manuscript of a work entitled " Four Gospels in 
One,"' and am free to say that it promises to be an interesting and valu- 
able work. To the Bible student and to the great army of Sunday school 
teachers, it must become a valuable aid, greatly assisting in the prepara- 
tion of the lesson, and to the lover of God's word an additional help to 
a knowledge of that which makes wise unto salvation. 

C. V. Wilson, 
Pastor Emory M. E. Church. 



Minneapolis, Minn. 
I have examined the *' Four Gospels in One " with some care and am 
really impressed with the amount of labor and thought the compiler 
has bestowed upon it. Moreover, he has shown a good deal of skill in 
combining the several passages to form a connected narrative. In my 
judgment the work may be made very useful, and there ought to be a 
large demand for it. What knowledge should interest us like the knowl- 
edge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ ? Or in what form can such 
knowledge be so useful to us as when conveyed in the '* words which the 
Holy Ghost teacheth ? Samuel M. Campbell, ^ 

First Presbyterian Church, Minneapolis. 



Pittsburgh, Pa. 

I have glanced over a large portion of the "Four Gospels in One," 
and am pleased with it as quite complete. It will be a help to all who 
wish to familiarize themselves with the fourfold record of the Lord's 
life. J. P. E. Kumler, 

East Liberty Presbyterian Church.
